1.
Using an oscillating sander, roughen the area to be repaired.
NOTE
This repair procedure is for damaged areas not exceeding
100 square inches in area and located between structural
members. To determine whether a large or deep dent is
between structural members, tap area with finger. A
structural member has a tight drum-like sound while the
area between has a soft sound between members.
Extensive damage such as denting or buckling of the
exterior shelter skin (which displaces the opposite shelter
skin), generally constitutes an unrepairable type of
damage.
