You do have to be careful when mixing it up, however, because it kicks fast. The technique I worked out was to get some disposable aluminum pie plates. Put the mixed Jeffco sealer in one, then set it in a second one that has 2 or 3 of those little re-freezeable cold packs placed in it. This will keep the mixed sealer cold and prolong it's pot life significantly. It goes on a little like tar, but as soon as it spreads on the e-glass, it warms up and can be brushed out. The Jeffco sealer also makes a nice coating for the inside of the cowling -- protects from oil and fuel drips and makes it very easy to keep clean.
