In order to set the bond gap
thickness, remove one .032” washer from each
Stud. This will
ensure Studs/Bushings are receiving positive pressure while not over compressing during
installation.
7.
Prepare Hysol 9394 IAW manufacturer instructions
**NOTE**
Once installed, allow to cure following manufacturer instructions. Do not attempt to
reposition or move as this may cause air pockets or voids in the bond.
8.
Apply Hysol 9394 to Seawing Studs/Bushings as necessary (up to 8 Ea) place them in the
seawing tips and install the seawing tips to match bond them onto the abraded areas on the
RH and LH Seawing (TM).
9.
Attach seawing tip to the fuselage using a bolt with 2 Ea washers into the existing nutplate.
Be careful not to over torque creating poor bond gap for Seawing Studs.
10.
After allowing to cure, remove Seawing tip and follow instructions for Re-installation.
Re-install Seawing tip:
1.
Apply carnauba paste wax onto the RH mating surfaces of the entire top and bottom interfaces
of the fuselage and Seawing tip. Allow 5 minutes for the wax to flash off. Wipe carnauba wax off
using a lint free cloth to leave thin film of residue on the mating surface. Repeat step a total of 3
times. Repeat process for LH side.
