TM 10-5411-200-14 T.O. 35E4-177-1 NOTE The procedures in paragraphs 4-31 through 4-43 are typical and apply for all panel surfaces. 4-31. DRYING WATER-SOAKED AREAS IN PANELS. a. Care shall be taken to prevent water from entering panel core material, since it is very difficult to remove. When damage occurs, the punctured panel skin shall be temporarily protected to prevent entry of water until repair can be made. If water has been allowed to enter panel, the core material shall be dried prior to skin repair. b. Position heat lamps around damaged area. Adjust lamps so that panel surface temperature does not exceed 200°F (93.3°C). c. Allow heat lamps to remain in position until core material surrounding damaged area is thoroughly dry. NOTE Drying time will vary and is determined by experience and amount of moisture in panel. Core material will feel hard and brittle when dry. d. After core material is thoroughly dried, repair panel in accordance with the applicable repair task. 4-32. BLIND RIVET REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION. a. Remove blind rivets as follows: WARNING Wear safety goggles for eye protection from flying metal chips. (1) Select drill bit the same diameter as installed blind rivet.
