Only use sharp shears or scissors to cut the cloth to size. Make sure that the fibers in the cut cloth point in the correct relative direction. Make sure that the fiber strands are not broken or damaged. The cloth must be free of any damage or contamination.
4. Core Material
You must always use the correct sandwich core for the repair. Refer to the lay-up drawing of the repair area for data about the type of core you must use.
Make sure that the core material is not damaged or contaminated.
Use a sharp knife to cut the core to the exact size for the repair. The edges of the cut must be clean so that the core will bond correctly. You can profile the core by cutting or sanding.
5. Laminating
A prescribed stack of resin impregnated cloth makes a laminate. A laminate which is used to repair an airplane becomes an integral part of the airplane structure once the laminate is hardened and fully cured.
You can make the laminate in place directly on the repair or you can make the laminate on a work table and then apply the wet laminate to the repair. When you make the laminate on a table:
) It is easier to do.
) It is easier to control and correct the laminating process.
) You can make sure that the cloth layers in the stack are correct before you apply the resin.
) You can make the repair neater.
) You do not have to work upside down.
