a. Restitching. Stitch and restitch broken or loose stitching with size 3 nylon thread which matches the
color of the original stitching, when possible. Lock all straight stitching by backstitching at least 1/2 inch.
Restitch by overstitching each end of the stitch formation by 1/2 inch. Restitch directly over the original
stitching, following the original stitch pattern as closely as possible. Stitch according to para. 2-19 and table 2-3.
b. Splicing. A riser cover end reinforcement may be spliced an unlimited number of times as follows:
(1)
Cut a length of 9/16-inch wide, type I nylon webbing long enough to extend 1 inch beyond each
side of the damaged area and sear the ends.
(2)
Center the webbing length over the damaged area and secure the splice by stitching a box-
stitch formation, 1/8 inch in from each edge, the full length of the splice material. Stitching will
be made with a medium-duty sewing machine using size E nylon thread, 7 to 11 stitches per
inch.
