When cleaning an area prior to applying a sealant,<br />

apply a small amount of solvent to a clean cloth, wipe<br />

the surface, and follow by wiping with a clean, dry<br />

cloth. Immediately after use, place used rags into an<br />

appropriate HAZMAT container, and then dispose of<br />

per local directives. This minimizes exposure of personnel<br />

to and release of solvent vapors into the environment.<br />

• No RTV sealant which produces acetic acid such<br />

as those conforming to MIL-A-46106 shall be used<br />

on <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong> equipment unless required by the<br />

equipment specific repair manual. No RTV sealant<br />

shall be used in areas where exposure to fuels and<br />

oils will be encountered. If RTV sealants are required<br />

by the equipment specific repair manual,<br />

ensure that the sealant conforms to MIL-A-46146,<br />

Adhesives/Sealants, Silicone, RTV, Non-corrosive<br />

(for use on sensitive metals and equipment), and/or<br />

is listed in <strong>TO</strong> 1-1-691, Appendix A, as being a<br />

non-corrosive RTV silicone sealant.<br />

• Do not use SAE AMS 3267 (MIL-S-8784) sealant<br />

in high temperature areas or for permanent structural<br />

installations. These sealants have no high<br />

temperature resistance and very low peel strength.<br />

Some typical uses of SAE AMS 3267 (MIL-S-<br />

8784) sealants include sealing floor panels and<br />

plates and fuel tank inspection plates.<br />

12.6.1 Cleaning. If the surfaces have been contaminated<br />

following corrosion removal and surface treatment per instructions<br />

in Chapters 8 and 11 of this manual; clean the area with a<br />

clean CCC-C-440, Type I or II, Class 2 cheesecloth; an AMS<br />

3819A, Class 2, Grade A cleaning cloth; or a CCC-C-46, Type<br />

I, Grade 7 non-woven cleaning cloth saturated with either<br />

A-A-59281, Type I or SAE AMS 3166 solvent. Begin at the<br />

top of the area to be sealed and work downward. Dry the<br />

surfaces immediately with a clean cloth. Do not allow solvent<br />

to evaporate from the surface because it will allow some or all<br />

of the oil, dirt, etc. to redeposit, making it impossible to<br />

remove with a dry cloth. Use a stiff bristle brush to clean<br />

around bolts, rivets, etc. Always use clean cloth as each new<br />

area is cleaned.<br />

NOTE<br />

• Always pour solvent on the cloth to avoid contaminating<br />

the solvent supply. Reclaimed solvents or<br />

soiled cleaning cloths shall not be used. After surface<br />

treatment, do not contaminate areas to be<br />

sealed with soiled hands or tools.<br />

• See Appendixes A and B in <strong>TO</strong> 1-1-691 for procurement<br />

information on materials used for cleaning<br />

and masking.<br />

12.6.2 Masking. To prevent sealant from contacting adjacent<br />

areas during application and smoothing out operations,<br />

the surrounding area not being sealed can be masked off with<br />

AMS-T-21595, Type I masking tape (see Figure 12-8). In<br />

cases where the tape is likely to remain in place for more than<br />
