Abstract
A method for mending a damaged area in a papermachine fabric includes filling the defective area with a photosensitive resin, irradiating the defective area with ultraviolet light through a first mask having a multiplicity of light impervious dots in order to crosslink the irradiated regions and rinsing away the non-crosslinked regions of the photosensitive resin. The patch produced in this way is firmly bonded to the fabric of the papermachine fabric and also has a permeability sufficient for dehydration of the paper pulp.
