Abstract
A tool for remotely obtaining an impression of a component surface. A support pole is used to position a mold plate having side walls against a component surface. One or more locating guides are provided with seals for sealing off bores in the component surface. A piston from a pneumatic cylinder attached to the support pole is used to force impression material into the space between the mold plate and component surface. An adhesive plate on the mold plate insures removal of the impression with the mold plate once the impression material has hardened. The surface condition of the component may be determined by inspection of the negative impression.
