Immediately wipe off any spilled sealing compound. • Screw conduit domed-cover back onto conduit opening. NOTE: INITIAL SETUP OF SEALING COMPOUND WILL OCCUR IN APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES HOW- EVER, THE SEALING COMPOUND REQUIRES A MINIMUM OF 8 HOURS ABOVE 32ºF TO DEVELOP SUFFICIENT STRENGTH TO WITHSTAND EXPLOSIONS.
