Inject sealant into puncture.
Mound sealant to about 1/8 in. (3.2
mm) above surface of unbroken skin.
Apply bead of sealant about
1/4 in. (6.4 mm) wide over all cuts in skin leading out from punc-
ture.
Do not smooth out sealant.
Plan how puncture is to be covered with tape before applying any
tape.
Length and width of tape, number of tape strips, overlap-
ping, and how tape is applied will affect sealing capability of
repair.
Each piece of tape should extend about 1-1/2 in. (38.1 MM)
beyond sealant it will cover.
If this will require more than one
strip of tape, tape should overlap about 1/2 in. (12.7 mm). If
three or more strips of tape are required, center strip should be
applied first.
Holding tape taut, apply it 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 Di-
rect Support, or higher category of maintenance, should be made as
soon as possible.
