through the resin coat and exposing fibers will be cause for composite
repair.

and remove all residue. (Refer to 20-30)
WARNING:
Keep all sealants away from open flames or other sources of ignition.
Mix and use sealants only in areas with adequate ventilation.
Wear protective gloves when handling sealants and cleaned parts. Do not use
protective hand creams as they can contaminate the sealant.
Avoid skin contact. If contact occurs, wash area thoroughly with soap and water.
Wear goggles for eye protection. If accidental eye contact with sealant, sealant
components, or cleaning solvent occurs, immediately flush eyes with large quan-
tities of water and report to a doctor for further examination and/or treatment.
(2) Mix sealant as required.
(3) Apply a coat of MIL-S-8802 Class A sealant to the prepared area. Apply sealant with a brush,
stroking in two directions to thoroughly coat the area with sealant 5 to 15 mils thick (0.005 to
0.015 inch). Small areas, drips, or runs in excess of the 15 mils (0.015 inch) are acceptable in
isolated cases. No greater than 10% of the area being coated shall exceed the maximum thick-
ness.
(4) Allow sealant to cure.
