Abstract
An optical fiber or similar article is coated by directing the fiber through a spherical mixing vessel. Two silicone RTV components are directed by means of an annular feed mechanism into the mixing vessel at predetermined flow rates. The motion of the fiber directed through the vessel produces a churning or agitation of the silicone components to uniformly and homogeneously coat the fiber with the mixed components and provide a protective elastomeric coating about the fiber.
