Abstract
A method for a repair of materials used in the manufacture of non-structural aircraft interior components includes the steps of laying fiberglass over a damaged surface and adhering the fiberglass with a fast-adhering glue, that includes at least one of cyanoacrylate and a cyanoacrylate activator for repairing the surface, to the damaged surface. A related method that includes applying a cyanoacrylate activator is used for removing pen and pencil marks for a synthetic leather material.
