should not be used unless the batch number of the base and catalyst are the same. The two part sealers may be mixed as
follows:
(1) Using a clean spatula, weigh out the proper amount of base required for the repair in a clean wax free cup.
(2) Before removing any catalyst, stir the catalyst with a clean spatula. Discard the spatula. Using a clean spatula, weigh the
correct amount of catalyst in the cup with the base.
NOTE: Do not allow the catalyst to touch the side of the mixing cup or spill during the weighing or mixing
of the sealer.
(3) Hand mix the base and catalyst together until the mixture is uniform in color with no streaks or lumps.
E. Sealer Application (Ref. Figure 201
The sealer may be applied as follows:
(1) Ensure the surface is clean and free of oil or contamination.
(2) Apply sealer 1/32 inch thick to the cleaned surface using a spatula or air pressure sealer applicator.
(3) Place the part in place and install temporary or permanent fasteners. If temporary fasteners are installed, enough pressure
should be applied to ensure solid contact of the surfaces with no gaps existing in the applied sealer.
NOTE: Any fasteners installed in the airplane should be dipped in sealer before installation.
(4) All permanent fasteners required to accomplish the repair should be installed during the work time of the sealer. The
recommended work time of the sealer is established by the manufacturer of the sealer.
NOTE: Fasteners that have torque requirements must be torqued to final torque requirements during the
recommended work time of the sealer. The nut should be turned on all torque readings if possible.
No torque may be applied after the sealer has reached the maximum recommended sealer work
time. It is recommended that torque sealer (10, Table 201) be applied to all torqued fittings and
fasteners after the final torque has been applied.
