thorough. The whole area for repairing should be cleaned and degreased as well as the edges of the torn part.
3.7.3 APPLYING THE GLUE

•
Apply the glue;
•
Wait 4-5 minutes;
•
Apply the glue again;
•
Wait 7-9 minutes;
•
Join the surfaces smoothing them uniformly.
WARNING: THE GLUED PARTS SHOULD NOT BE SUBJECTED TO STRESS BEFORE 12

3.7.4 REPAIRING TORN AREAS
Three types of repairing may be carried out on inflatable parts:
1.
Minor: the typical dimension of the tear goes from a hole to a 5 cm tear, that is to say 0 < x < 50 mm; an
example of minor repair is the patching of small holes or tears smaller than 50 mm.
2.
Major: the typical dimension of a major tear does not go beyond 500 mm, that is to say 50 < x < 500 mm.
3.
Critical: the typical dimension of a critical tear goes beyond 500 mm. In this case do not repair and send the
liferaft to the Manufacturer.
For straight tears the characterizing dimension is the length. For more complex tears, “L” or “Y”
types, the
characterising dimension is the diameter of the circumference circumscribing the tear.
