(4) SIZE OF REPAIR AREA


If the length of the damaged area is 8 inches or more, the patch must overlap the
old fabric by at least 2 inches. Repairs longer than 8 inches require at least a 2
inch wide finishing tape over the seams. These tapes should be centered over
the seam of the patch.

If the length of the damaged area is less than 8 inches in length, the patch must
overlap the old fabric by at least 1 inch. Finishing tapes are not required over the
glued seams unless the patch is on top of the wing.

For small fabric repairs such as stick or stone damage, where the holes are ½
inch long or less, a patch of already doped and painted fabric with the edges
pinked can be used. An overlap of at least ½ inch of patch material over ½ inch
of old fabric on all sides is required and it must be secured with Loctite Depend
330 Adhesive or a suitable equivalent.

Any stitching that is removed during repair must be replaced. Use the methods
given in this chapter.
