I bought Aqua Bond potting cpd sealant from Amazon but it turns out it takes a DM-50 type caulking gun which no pool co. or pool supply store seems to have in the Louisville area, or can even get one. This gun squeezes both tubes simultaneously and mixes as you use it. My employee says he can just probably mix it by hand. Is there another sealant for wet niche lights grounding sealing I can buy or can we mix it by hand ? We may only have a few days in which to get this done. Thank you.

Here is a link! https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/p/d/b00040018/ you will have to find a supply house that can get it for you!
 
My SH carried what I used. It came as a kit with the two ingredients and even a wooden spoon to mix it with. If I'm not mistaken, it also came with disposable gloves. Can't remember the brand, but think it was 3M.
 
Amazon ... CAUATION, they have in their warehouses "Pigeon-Holed" products meeting the description. But they are not from the same manufacture. You might want to go to the manufacturer's actual web site to purchase.

That's the one I used years ago then switched to the Aquabond. Thing is, I have not installed wet niche lights on new pools in over 15 years. All nicheless type. My Aquabond stuff is long gone. When I did use the Aquabond, the gun was key. You can get multiple lights out of one cartridge.
You can purchase directly from the manufacturer as well.
