A method for installing an electrical heat sensor in a heatable laminate to function as a substitute for a defective heat sensor originally installed in the laminate during the manufacture thereof, comprising the steps of drilling a blind hole in an edge of the laminate, inserting a heat sensor into the hole, and filling the hole with a material to seal the hole and the heat sensor from contamination.

Lamination repair method by installation of a substitute electrical heat

A repair method for repairing electrical interconnect between an electrical bus bar and an electrically conductive ply of a heatable laminate. The method uses the steps of filling a syringe with an electrically conductive material, inserting the needle of the syringe into the laminate parallel to the conductive ply and along the surface thereof until the needle reaches the interconnect and then operating the syringe to inject an amount of the material into an area about the conductive ply.

Lamination repair method

A method is disclosed for repairing laminates such as aircraft transparency windows in which two plies of the laminate have become separated and created a void. The method of the invention basically comprises the steps of selecting an adhesive having a viscosity sufficient to flow into the void formed between the two separated plies and then introducing an amount of the adhesive into the void such that the adhesive fills substantially all of the void thereby repairing the laminate. The preferred technique for introducing the adhesive into the void comprises the steps of filling a syringe with an amount of the adhesive, affixing a hypodermic needle to the syringe, and forcing the needle into the void of the delaminated area. The syringe is then operated to force the adhesive into the void until the void is completely filled with the adhesive.
