LIQUID-PASTE COMBINATION PATCH

TM 55-1905-223-SDC

NOTE

The surface to be cleaned should extend approximately 1 inch beyond the entire

periphery of the rupture.

(2)

Make sure that the ruptured surface is dry.

(3) Determine the amount of paste resin and paste hardener that will be required. For example,

one can of paste resin (300 grams) mixed with one can of paste hardener (75 grams) is sufficient to fill a

ruptured area 1 inch thick by4 inches square (16-cubic-inch volume).

Application. The simple paste patch is applied in the following sequence to vertical overhead or

underside or horizontal surfaces.

(1) Follow carefully all preparation instructions (using facing shields, goggles, and gloves

provided with the kit).

(2) Remove the paste resin and paste hardener from containers and mix on a flat surface,

using only an amount sufficient to make each repair.

(3) Apply paste mixture to the rupture, applying sufficient pressure to force the mixture into and

through the entire thickness of the ruptured material (extruding slightly as shown in FIGURE 8-12), leaving a

convex working surface extending approximately 1 inch beyond the entireperipheryoftherupture.

(4) Place the PVC film over the paste mixture and smooth over lightly. The PVC may be

removed after the mixture is cured.
