The sealing compound generally used for pack-seals is an inorganic, chemically setting,
magnesium oxide base material, which develops a slight expansion while hardening
into a porcelain-like body. Sealing Compound is supplied as a powder and need only
be mixed with water to apply. Approximately one ounce of sealing compound is
needed per cubic inch of space to be filled.
