Inspection of Conduit Seal Pour

Does it make the same sound as with mustard?

You may want to warn people around before use........

after a couple of uses, no one will mistake it for an actual mustard bottle :wink:

Focus was on the sound.....it makes when you squeeze the mustard bottle

Oops, right over my head...yup, same sound, same likelihood of abuse for making it.

hopefully you guys are done discussing fanny burps.

Back to the topic (please)


Is it normal to experience leaking of any compound through the fiber dam?

Is it normal to see the compund level go lower and to put more compound in the seal to 'top it off'?

How much is normal? a drip, an ounce,

If you have the fiber packed properly and the cement mixed properly you shouldn't notice any leaking. Fill the seal to the manufacturers instructions.

I roll my fiber into little snakes. you can then push the snakes around the wires and into the back of the seal. I use a small dixie cup and mark a line on it in order in insure the proper mixing ratio. I found a basic funnel with a 18 inch hose on the end. The hose on the end make it easy to pour th seal even if it's close to something. As long as you rinse out the funnel before the compound dries it works great.

What tools do you use to pack the fiber? I have tried many things,the back side of a pencil works ok. I know their are tools made for this but our shop hasn't wanted to purchase any.

I like to use chopsticks to pack the fiber.
