CAUTION The limitations prescribed for parachute canopy patching will be stringently adhered to under all circumstances and without any deviations.    NOTE When repairing parachute canopies, cloth nylon, parachute, 1.6 Oz., type II (twill weave) or type III (ripstop nylon) may be used in lieu of each other.
