plied in a thin, even coat. Bring the wax to a high
polish by rubbing lightly with a clean, dry flannel cloth,

following paragraphs can be made successfully with-

Three types of temporary repairs for cracked plastic
are possible. No repairs of any kind are recommend-
ed on highly-stressed or compound curves where the
repair would be likely to affect the pilot’s field of
vision. Curved areas are more difficult to repair than
flat areas and any repaired -area- is ´•t~oth etructurallp

3-8. CRACKS. (SeefigureS-l.)
a. When a crack appears in a panel, drill a hole at
the end of the crack to prevent further spreading. The
hole should be appra~dmatelp 1/8 inch in diameter,
depending on the length of the crack and thickness of
the material.
b. Temporary repairs to Rat surfaces can be ef-
fected by placing a thin strip of wood over each side
of the ~urface and then inserting small bobs through
the wood and plastic. A cushion of sheet rubber or
airplane fabric should be pl;iced between the wood and
plastic on bath sides.
c. A temporary repair can be made on a curved
surface by placing fabric patches over the affected
areas. Secure the patches with airplane dape,Speci-

3-18. The eyebo)t and nutplate can be located at
various points, including cabin side walls, floor, and
aft baggage compartment wall. The sliding tie-down
lug also utilizes the eyebolt and attaches to a seat
rail. A baggage net is standard equipment on Models
172, P172, 182 and 150F and on. Tie-down straps
are standard equipment on the Models 150D and 150E.
Prior to the Model 1SOD, the tie-down straps are
