Activity 11 - Unplanned Maintenance
Tube repair procedure
Before commencing the repair, ensure the environment is
dry and warm or temperature and humidity controlled.
• Using hot air gun, crepe rubber, 501 solvent, pincers,
scraper and emery cloth remove old glue and prepare
surface for new patch.
• Mark out new fitting or patch with chinagraph pencil.
Cut out suitable size patch (allow 50-75mm overlap)
and round off corners.
• Key both mating surfaces by abrading with sandpaper.
• Wipe areas with 501 solvent to remove dust and dirt.
• Ensure two part adhesive is in date for use and mix
together thoroughly.
• Apply glue thinly and evenly to both surfaces.
• Leave for a minimum of 20 minutes or until tacky.
• Apply a second coat of glue on both surfaces.
• Leave for 5-10 minutes until touch dry.
• Bond the patch to the sponson avoiding trapping air as
you do so.
• Roll well with a roller ensuring edges are
bonded together.
• Wipe over all areas with 501 solvent to remove pencil
marks and residual glue.
NOTE
The repair must be left for 24 hours to cure
before inflation and the glue will take a full 7 days
to cure properly.
Inflation valve repair procedure
Leafield manufacture the inflation valves fitted in the
sponson of the B-Class Atlantic 85 Lifeboat.
The valve should be kept clean using plenty of soapy
water. It is not possible to remove the inner workings of
the fitting for cleaning or replacing.
The outer part of the valve can be replaced if needed.
However, the section of sponson holding the valve will
need to be deflated as the inner part of the valve will drop
inside the sponson once the outer part is unscrewed.
