Metalbasher Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 AC-Tech makes a quick cure sealant. Not exactly sure of the cure times but it is faster than the PPG material. If you are interested in a poc, email me at [email protected] and I can put you in touch with someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARS Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Check out 1C-130H-2-56JG-00-1 (my copy is circa 1993, so check it out in an updated copy); it authorizes the use of Sealant Tape PTFE (SKYFLEX) in lieu of sealant on the aircraft windows. You have to use Teflon washers with the Sealant Tape, but there is no cure time required. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzo Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Guys, this is what you are looking for it's Hi-tak tape made by AV-dec. I guess in change 14 of the 1C-130h-2-56JG they allow to use this tape instead of SKYFLEX it's HT-3935-7-100 it's a polyurethane tape and it has no cure time and zero hazmat. I have used it my self on windows and is dubble sided, under the floorboards we use the Tuf seal and has a teflon layer. Here is a link to the website of av-dec http://www.avdec.com/products/tapes/hi-tak-tape-ht-3935-7 Bonzo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinyclark Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 (edited) You will still have to fill the voids if you use any type of tape. Our job guide also allows the use of Polyurethane Injectable Sealant, (AV-DEC # TG2010-50) This is a two part system that mixes in the nozzle and is applied with an AVDEC gun. It will cure fairly quickly in the cold. There is also a company that sells a special light heater to rapidly cure adhesives. Complete curing in 6 hours instead of 72. http://www.aerowing.com/index.php?page=rapid_curing Edited December 10, 2010 by tinyclark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzo Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 tiny, I only used it on the cargobay windows. If you use it on the flightdeck windows yeah you wanna seal those voids. herky400 didnt the BAF get a new hangar after the fire at melsbroek? otherwise send it to vlb eindhoven they have nice hangars there I bet they dont mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herky400M Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 Bonzo, sorry late reply, nope no new hangar, it was the SABENA TECHNICS hangar where our herk was maintained..... and our hangars are stone aged..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzo Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Herky, Sorry to hear that you are still working out of those OLD OLD buildings. I hope it wasn't too cold this winter with all the snow etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spookychief Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I know if you are on a AF bird SKYFLEX is no longer authorized due to corrosion of the bolts even if you do fill the void. we just had a QA flsh last year that killed that. Sucks back to B 1/2 Wet Dipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalbasher Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Av-Dec materials and low-tack sealant should be all that is authorized. No more skyflex (junk) authorized! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bischoffm Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Straight out of the book SKYFLEX is still authorized as of CHANGE 15 - 15 MARCH 2009, unless of course you have a supplement somewhere stating that!! Sealant, Polyurethane Injectable (AV-DEC), TG2010-50 Sealant Tape, Polyurethane (AV-DEC), HT3935-7-100 Sealant Tape, PTFE (skyflex) Thin non-metallic wedges, cutters and scrapers Warning tags Washers, teflon, part No. GUA6003 (as required when using PTFE tape in lieu of MIL-S-8784 sealant) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 I used sky flex once it was boss!! No cure time, just a standard pressure check. Had to get special one time permission to use it but we left the next day out of elmendorf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
