The goal in Level 2: Execute is competent execution of Cat 3 repairs. Your new leads will benefit from these classes. Fundamental comprehension and exposure to tools is essential prior to this class. Interaction with engineering, reporting and job management skills are assessed. Repair based on generic GE repair standards.
Topics and processes covered:

• Measurement, markup, solution building

• work documentation, engineering interface, report generation

•  safety, PPE, tooling

• Templating, kitting glass, mixing chems, layup of epoxy repair,  vertical

• Window repair: damage removal, scarfing

  • grinder

  • pistol grip sander

  • band file

•  hardback bonding, Inner skin, core installation under vacuum

•  outer skin under vacuum, post cure

• Fill fair and finish

When things get complex, an orderly process keeps it simple. We teach the "why" as well as the "how" and "when". Technicians understanding why to do things allows them to engineer solutions and be more self sufficient.

• Templating allows your support team members to prepare the materials with a minimum of fuss, the templating standards make sure the proper information is conveyed the first time.

• Stacking reinforcements and mixing resin in batches  makes smaller work out of bigger repairs. This  controls cure rates and limits problems if things go awry.

• Vacuum consolidation requires good planning, layout, kitting, and preparation.  Competence in vacuum consolidation is key to CAT 5 repairs, this is the time to master it.
