Abstract
A method of forming a repair patch for repairing a damaged inflatable object is provided. The method comprises forming a backing formed polyimide material and applying as adhesive material to the backing, for securing the polyimide backing material to the inflatable object. The backing may be formed as a thin film of polyimide material and the adhesive may be formed as thin film of adhesive having a high temperature resistance, e.g. 300° F. or higher. The adhesive may be formed of silicon or acrylic contact adhesive having high temperature resistance. The release layer may be applied to the adhesive material.
