If the damage is located in a previously spliced area between two suspension lines, the earlier made splice material will be removed before attempting a second splice repair. a.   Stitching and Restitching  Stitch and restitch (para.  2-19) with nylon thread, size E, which contrasts the  color  of  the  original  stitching  and  material  when  possible.    Lock  all  straight  stitching  by  back  stitching  at least  2  inches.    Zig-zag  restitching  should  extend  1/4  inch  into  undamaged  stitching  at  each  end.    Restitch directly over the original stitching.  Follow the original stitch pattern as closely as possible. b.  Splicing.  Splice lower lateral band as follows: (1)    With  damaged  side  of  lower  lateral  band  facing  up  and  affected  areas  of  canopy  smoothed  out, remove previous splice, if required. (2)  As required, cut and remove original stitching which secures pocket band end to lower lateral band. Fold pocket band loose end away from repair area. (3)  Cut a length of 1-inch wide tubular nylon webbing long enough to extend 6 inches beyond each side of damaged area.  Sear each end of tape (para.  2-20). (4)  Center webbing length over damaged area (figure 2-122) and secure splice by making four rows of continuous  stitching  using  a  light  duty  sewing  machine  and  size  E  nylon  thread.    Overstitch  each webbing end by 1/2 inch.  Stitching will be 7 to 11 stitches per inches. (5)  Reattach pocket band, if required (para.  2-29). 2-153
