(c) Slowly stir accelerator into the base compound and thoroughly mix for approximately 7 to
10 minutes.
Note: Be sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the container in order to include
all the compound in the mixture and to ensure uniform blending. Scrape
mixing paddle on container sides periodically to ensure all material, includ-
ing that on paddle, is mixed.
(4) Alternate Mixing Procedure for Mil-S-8802, Type II, Class A Brushable Sealant
(a) As an alternate procedure, a custom quantity may be mixed by weighing into a clean, wax-
free container. Weigh the correct amount of base and accelerator immediately prior to mix-
ing.
Note: The scales and weighing procedure must be controlled within 2% to insure
good quality. A standard gallon-capacity paint shaker (1350 vibrations/
minute) may be used to mix all kit sizes. Full containers should not be mixed
on a paint shaker.
(b) Add accelerator to the base compound, replace lid, and vibrate 3-1/2 minutes to 5 minutes
in an upright position.
(c) Remove container, open, and scrape down the sides with a spatula or putty knife. Replace
lid and vibrate in an inverted position for 3-1/2 to 5 minutes.
(d) Use sealant or freeze for storage as required.
(5) Mixing of Mil-S-8802, Type II, Class B Extrusion Gun Sealant
Sealant is furnished in premeasured and proportioned kits and in two-part cartridges. If the two-
part cartridges are used a special extrusion gun may be required to apply sealant. If a premea-
sured kit is used and the entire kit is not needed, the sealant can be proportioned by combining
ten parts of the base compound with one part accelerator (by weight). Use an accurate scale
when mixing base and accelerator. Extrusion gun sealant supplied in proportioned kits may be
hand mixed as follows when suitable mechanical pressure mixers are not available.
CAUTION: Mixing must not be performed in a paint shaker. Slow hand mixing is recom-
mended. The compound may be mixed by a slow-speed mechanical mixer. A
high-speed mechanical mixer will generate internal heat and reduce application
life.
(a) Stir the accelerator to absorb all floating liquid before it is mixed with the sealant. The
accelerator can then be poured into the container of sealant for mixing, otherwise, a wax-
free container must be used.
(b) Thoroughly stir accelerator in its container until even consistency is obtained.
(c) Slowly stir accelerator into the base compound and thoroughly mix for approximately 7 to
10 minutes.
Note: Be sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the container in order to include
all the compound in the mixture and to ensure uniform blending. Scrape
mixing paddle on container sides periodically to ensure all material, includ-
ing that on paddle, is mixed.
(d) Fill new cartridge with mixed sealant and apply or freeze for storage as required.
