The B-1/2 classification means this black sealant has a work life of about 30 minutes, giving you plenty of time to get the sealant just right before it begins to cure. The formula won’t haze or craze windshields, maintaining crystal clear vision while sealing edges against leaks. The 654-SemKit format keeps things tidy and ready for action with no mess and no fuss. Whether you're a maintenance tech, an A&P wizard or the go-to fixer on the hangar floor, this sealant is your best bet when it comes to sealing windows and looking good while doing it.

Surface preparationImmediately before applying sealant to primed substrates, the surfaces should be cleaned with solvents. Contaminants such as dirt, grease, and/or processing lubricants must be removed prior to sealant application.
A progressive cleaning procedure should be employed using the appropriate solvents and new lint free cloth (reclaimed solvents or tissue paper should not be used). Always pour solvent on the cloth to avoid contaminating the solvent supply. Wash one small area at a time.
It is important that the surface is dried with a second clean cloth prior to the solvent evaporating to prevent the redeposition of contaminants on the substrate. Substrate composition can vary greatly. This can affect sealant adhesion. It is recommended that adhesion characteristics to a specific substrate be determined prior to application on production parts or assemblies.
For a more thorough discussion of proper surface preparation, please consult the SAE Aerospace Information Report AIR 4069. This document is available through SAE, 400 Commonwealth Avenue, Warrendale, PA 15096-0001.
Mixing instructions
PR-1425 Class B is supplied in a two-part kit. Mix according to the ratios indicated in the application properties section.
