PANEL REPAIR METHOD
Heat Gun
Hard Roller
Repair Patch
Front of the Panel
1. Identify the damaged area and cut a neat patch
(Figure 17A) to fit it. The patch should be slightly larger
than the damaged area, and ideally rectangular.
2. Gently heat the edges of the damaged area with a heat
gun, taking care to not melt the surface of the panel.
Place the patch over the damaged area (Figure 17B),
ensuring the edges are covered by the patch.
3. Using the heat gun, heat the edges of both the patch
and the damaged area (Figure 17C). Without melting,
they should become sufficiently soft to be pressed
together.
4. Use a hard roller to press together the patch and the
edges of the damaged area (Figure 17D), ensuring
that they will not separate once they have cooled. If
necessary, apply more heat whilst rolling.
CAUTION
The roller can become hot, so take care to not touch
the metal parts.
NOTICE
If you are carrying out several repairs at one time, you
will find that the hard roller will warm up, which will
facilitate the process.

Back of the Panel
1. Identify the damaged mesh area and cut a neat patch
of mesh to fit it. The patch should be slightly larger than
the damaged area, and ideally rectangular.
2. Place the patch over the damaged area, ensuring the
edges are covered by the patch.
3. Using the heat gun, heat the edges of both the patch
and the damaged area. When the mesh starts to shrink
on the edges of the patch and the damaged area, it
is time to press the patch and the main body of mesh
together.
4. Use a hard roller to press together the patch and the
edges of the damaged area, ensuring that they will not
separate once they have cooled.
NOTICE
In all cases please refer to your company's RAMS
(Risk Assessment Method Statement).
NOTICE
If the patch is quite large, start the repair process at
one end and work in small stages until the process has
been completed for the entire patch.
