trained and certified in fiberglass repair by KMDSI.
Many Kirby Morgan fiberglass helmets and masks
still in use today are more than 30 years old.
7) Visually inspect the helmet shell exterior for obvious
signs of fiberglass damage including cracks, gouges or
depressions.
Polyester gel coat covers the exterior of the shell. Al-
though this material is far more durable than paint, it can
be scratched and chipped. Light scratches can be removed
by using an automotive rubbing compound and waxing.
Authorized KMDSI factory trained technicians can repair
chips and scratches.
WARNING
Do not attempt to install new thread
inserts in the helmet shell for the port
retainer screws by yourself. If the installa-
tion is done improperly, the port retainer
can come loose and the helmet could
flood resulting in drowning. Fiberglass
and insert repairs should be only be com-
pleted by technicians specifically trained
and certified in these procedures.
