Abstract
A method of visually verifying the application of a primer or adhesion promoter to a surface for optimizing the adhesion of a bonding tape to the surface. A fluorescing agent is mixed with the primer and a light source is emitted on the surface causing the agent to fluoresce when the primer is applied. The technician can then visually verify coverage of the primer. The fluorescing agent does not affect the bonding properties of the bonding tape or affect the aesthetic appearance of the surface or the material being bonded to the surface.
Claims11
A system, comprising:
- a radome having a mixture of a fluorescing agent and a primer applied to one or more portions of an inner surface of the radome;
- a cup;
- and
- a double-sided bond tape, wherein a first side of the bond tape is applied to the cup and a second side of the bond tape is applied to the one or more portions of the inner surface of the radome to which the mixture is applied.
