OUTER PLASTIC JACKET REPAIR (CONT)

NOTE

Plastic material will shrink when heated to melting point. Flouriglass fabric tape serves to

hold repair patch in place and helps to control the heat reaching the patch so that it does

not melt too fast.

4. Wrap area to be patched with l-inch-wide flouriglass fabric tape (3).

NOTE

Repaired area must be sufficiently heated to melt plastic jacket material. This action

enables material to flow evenly over repaired area and fill hole.

5. Moving flat-tip soldering iron (4) in slow back and forth motion, heat repaired area.
