How do I mix Amerlock?

Amerlock must always be drill motor mixed in order to properly cure.  Use an explosion proof drill motor with a Jiffy mixer or Jiffler mixer to mix each component until you have a homogenous material.  Mix the two components together with the drill motor mixer to achieve a homogenous blend of the two materials.  This may take several minutes.  Immediately start the application of the material upon attaining a homogenous blend.
