A method of restoring a section of a composite having a honeycomb bonded to a perforated skin includes the steps of separating a first honeycomb from the perforated skin to expose a portion of the perforated skin, inserting pins through perforations in the perforated skin, extending the pins through a repair material, attaching the repair material to the exposed portion of the perforated skin, and attaching a second honeycomb to the repair material. The method may include removing material from the exposed portion of the perforated skin, prior to inserting pins through the perforations, to create a more even bonding surface for attaching the repair material.
