This Marine Glue is intended for use in sealing wooden deck seams on ships. The seams should be clean and dry and caulked with oakum in a manor that allows not less than a 1/2" depth of Marine Glue. 2164-G should be heated to a temperature of 350° F. to attain optimum pouring viscosity. It should be poured from about 1" above the seam. Cast iron or cast aluminum pots can be used for melting the glue. Break up the glue into small chunks and apply heat slowly. Do not over heat or glue will loss elasticity and adhesion. The safe heating range is 350° - 400° F. Do not use oil on caulking irons or add any other material to the glue. 2164-G is packed in 5 gal. lug covered pails weighing approximately 42 lbs.
