The patches will be marked in three ways. First they must be marked for the size of the patch, itself. Second they must indicate the orientation of
the patch, typically by an arrow pointing to the nose end of the spar. And third, they must be marked with a crosshatch to indicate the direction of
the carbon fibers that the patch will be repairing. A circle, an arrow, and a crosshatch.
After the first patch that fits onto the interior carbon fiber layer (if you find damage to the interior layer and have to go down this far), each patch is
sized approximately 1/2 inch larger than the area being patched. The third patch is 1/2 inch wider on each side than the second patch and the
fiberglass patch in another 1/2 inch wider on each side.
Cut the new pieces of carbon fiber, using sharp scissors, into squares that are roughly somewhat larger than the size of each of the patch marked on
the plastic sheets.
