Abstract
A method and apparatus for applying a controlled thickness patch of repair material to a damaged surface adjacent a filleted surface disposed between a case surface and a strut is disclosed. A spacer is positioned on the case surface adjacent the filleted surface, with an outermost surface of the spacer dimensioned to intersect the filleted surface at a predetermined drop height from the case surface. Repair material is applied to the damaged surface by screeding with a straight edge. The straight edge is positioned with a first end against the outermost surface of the spacer and the filleted surface at the drop height, and a second end positioned against the strut or a guide mask disposed thereon so as to form a controlled thickness patch of repair material to the strut and filleted surface when the repair material is screeded.
