a. Repair.
CAUTION
When performing a repair on a 15-foot long static line which requires the cutting or
stitching of an original part, insure that adjacent static line material is not damaged
during the cutting process.
(1) Edge binding.
(a) Restitching. Stitch and restitch with size E 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. Stitching will
be in accordance with paragraph 2-19 and table 2-3.
(b) Splicing. Splice an edge binding an unlimited number of times as follows:
1 Cut a length of 3/4-inch wide type III cotton tape 2 inches longer than the damaged area.
2 Make 1/2-inch fold under on each end of tape length.
3 Center and fold the tape lengthwise over the damaged area. Secure the splice by making two
rows of stitching over the original stitching, the full length of the splice, to a point 1/2 inch
beyond each end of the splice material according to the details in figure 2-149. Use a light-
duty sewing machine and size E nylon thread. Stitching will be 7 to 11 stitches per inch.
