patch material over damaged area and epoxy mixture. Stretch out patch on all sides to ensure uniform
adhesion.

6. For damaged areas up to 144 square inches (92,908 square mm) perform steps 2 through 5, above using
the repair kit, but apply epoxy to cloth, nylon, or like material cut 2 to 3 inches (51 to 76 mm) greater in
