d.
Inject sprayfoam into puncture. Mound sprayfoam 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 puncture. Do not
smooth out sealant.
e.
Plan how puncture is to be covered with tape before applying any tape. Length and width of tape, number of
tape strips, overlapping, 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.
f.
Apply tape, holding it taut, and 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 and rub into place.
g.
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.
