Does any one know the approved method to patch a hole in Razorback?

The proper and legal repair is on page 14 of the Maint Manual located-

I have also seen small patches done using the Stitz process which seems to work just fine.... Good luck..

Unfortunately, it states "applicable to polyurethane paint on Ceconite only" I looked in my Manual as well, it says the same thing although mine was covered in Razorback from the factory. I think I would give them a call, I assume there is an approved repair process IAW the Type Certificate.

Ceconite 101A does the job. 2" overlap with no old paint between, let it dry then shrink tight with iron or hairdryer.
