What is the preferred way to make permanent repairs on composites?

  1. Gluing a patch over the damaged area

  2. Applying a special type of tape

  3. Laminating on new repair plies

  4. Using a spray-on composite repair kit

The correct answer is: Laminating on new repair plies

Laminating on new repair plies is the preferred way to make permanent repairs on composites. This method involves reinforcing the damaged area with new layers of composite material, ensuring a stronger and more durable repair. Applying a patch or tape may not fully restore the strength of the damaged area, while using a spray-on composite repair kit may not provide enough structural support for a long-term fix. Therefore, laminating on new repair plies is the most effective and preferred method for permanent repairs on composites.
