Holding it taut, apply tape perpendicular to panel skin. Do not apply with rolling motion either end-to-
end or center-to-ends. Do not rub each strip in place individually. Apply all strips lightly with proper
overlap. Then rub into place.

If necessary, damaged tape can be replaced; however, it should be removed with careful peeling
motion to avoid damage to sealant. If sealant also peels back, new sealant should be applied.
Complete removal of old sealant is not necessary. Permanent repair by direct support, or higher
category of maintenance, should be made as soon as possible.
