Fabric assembly and method of splicing same

A method of splicing and testing a liquid-mounted seal sheet, the method comprising:

• (a) overlapping a first fabric layer comprising a first material and a second fabric layer comprising a second material, wherein at least one of the first fabric layer or the second fabric layer defines an opening having a shaft defining a channel positioned therethrough, the shaft housing a valve having an open position and a closed position, wherein the valve is configured to allow a fluid through the channel in a first direction while the valve is in the open position, and the valve prevents the fluid through the channel while the valve is in the close position;
• (b) placing an additional amount of the first material to overlap the first fabric layer and the second fabric layer, and placing an additional amount of the second material to overlap the second fabric layer and the first fabric layer;
• (c) splicing the first fabric layer to the second fabric layer to form a spliced fabric composite comprising an interior pocket space defined by the first fabric layer and the second fabric layer;
• and
• (d) injecting a first fluid into the interior pocket space via the channel to thereby test a seal of the interior pocket.
