(4) To replace or repair gasket or insulation:
l Remove as much old gasket or insulation material as possible by pulling or scraping it away from
the metal surface.
Acetone and methyl-ethyl ketone (MEK) are flammable, and their vapors can be explosive.
Repeated or prolonged skin contact or inhalation of vapors can be toxic. Use a well-
ventilated area, wear gloves, and keep away from sparks or flame.
l Soften and remove old adhesive and gasket and insulation residue, using acetone or methyl-ethyl
ketone (MEK) and a stiff brush.
l Coat the mating surfaces of the metal and gasket or insulation (if applicable) with adhesive, item 3,
Appendix E. Let both surfaces air dry until the adhesive is tacky but will not stick to fingers.
l Starting with an end, carefully attach the gasket to the metal. Press into firm contact all over.
