Sorry vfr440 I missed the comment in the last sentence. If you really want to start a steamy discussion, ask me about "approved repair procedures". Let's start here.

Maybe it is too far off the thread topic. If you want to start another thread I am happy to participate. Maybe we can get rid of stupid repairs such as injection repairs for disbonds, get surface preparation procedures for repairs which actually address hydration issues, address temperature measurement and control procedures which actually produce cure of the adhesive without overheat damage of the structure instead of the stupid one heater blanket, one thermocouple approach adopted by a MAJOR manufacturer who sold a number of aircraft to the Australian Defence Forces.
Oh, we also need to get rid of meaningless fasteners in bonded repairs.
OK, off the soap box...
