When applying the rubber skimmed breaker fabric, the splice material rubber surface should be first lightly cleaned with solvent and then rolled into place. If solvent doesn’t produce the tack desired on the rubber surface, one coat of HC1 cement could be applied to the rubber.
After positioned and rolled into place, remove any plastic film that has been left on the outside of the material. Stitch areas that may need further compression making sure to remove any trapped air pockets. Be sure to review and follow the directions in the appropriate splice manual and MSDS.
