SURFACE PREPARATION
To obtain good adhesion to metallic surface, part shall be cleaned
with solvents to remove dirt, grease, and processing lubricants
used in manufacturing.
Wash one small aera at a time, then dry with a clean cloth before
solvent evaporates to prevent redeposition of oil, wax or other
surface contaminents. To maintain a clean solvant supply, always
pour the solvent on the washing cloth.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Proper mixing and correct proportions are extremely important if
optimum results are to be obtained. Mixing by experienced personnel
at a central location is recommended.
CAUTION: Do not mix accelerator with base compound until ready
to use.
1° Thoroughly stir accelerator in its container until an even
consistancy is obtained.
2° Thoroughly stir base compound in its container until an even
consistancy is obtained.
3° Slowly stir the accelerator into the base compound and thoroughly
mix approximately 7 to 10 minutes. Be sure to scrape the sides and
bottom of the container in order to include all the compound in the
mixture and to assure uniform blending. Scrape mixing paddle
periodically to remove unmixed compound. Slow mixing by hand is
recommanded.
FRACTIONAL USE OF UNIT :
When it is desired to use only part of the kit, after homogeneization,
remove the required quantity.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Application life is the period of time that the mixed compound
remains at a consistency suitable for application with injection or
extrusion guns. Application life is always based on standard
conditions at 23° C and 50 % relative humidity. For evry 5°C rise
in temperature, application life is reduced approximatetly by half,
and for every 5°C down, it is approximatly doubled. High humidity
at the time of mixing shortens application life.
CURING
The lenght of the cure depends on the ambient temperatureand
relative humidity. The temperature/time relationship is
approximately the same for curing as it is for application life . Low
humidities may extend the cure several times. Cure may hastened
by applying heat up to 50° C. JFM 1675 Class B develops a high
state of cure in 14 days at 23°C.
