Abstract
A downhole method comprises expanding a patch member. The patch member may be employed in a method of sealing a wall of a bore. The sealing method may comprise: providing the patch member with a sealing material on an exterior surface; running the patch member into the bore in a smaller diameter first configuration; heating the sealing material to render the sealing material flowable; reconfiguring the patch member to a larger diameter second configuration; and hardening the sealing material to provide a seal between the exterior surface of the patch member and an inner surface of the bore.
