REPAIR OF SHELTER PANEL DELAMINATION - continued.
CAUTION
Inject adhesive slowly. Too much force could increase the size of the delamination and cause
additional damage.
5.
Using a caulking gun, inject adhesive into the bottom hole until adhesive begins to seep out of the holes in line
with the injection hole.
6.
Using a pop rivet gun, (dip rivet in polysulfide sealer for exterior delaminations), install one 3/16 inch rivet in the
hole.
7.
When the holes on each side of the injection hole are riveted, install a rivet in the injection hole and use the next
series of pre-drilled holes to continue injecting adhesive.
8.
Repeat steps 5 through 7 until all holes are filled with adhesive and pop rivets.
9.
Clean the excess adhesive with nonresidual cleaning solvent (Isopropyl alcohol).
10.
Apply a fixed, even surface pressure to the area for a minimum of 12 hours to ensure that the skin of the shelter
is held in contact with the honeycomb core, and allow the adhesive to cure.
