Polymerize the prepreg with UV light or simply expose it to sunlight.<\/p>\n<p>The UV-blocking film allows precise control of the curing process. As soon as the patch is exposed to light, exothermia begins immediately, resulting in rapid curing in less than 5 minutes under UV light and less than 10 minutes under direct sunlight.<\/p>\n<p>Up to eight layers can be cured at one time. If the desired thickness is greater, lay down the first few layers and remove both films from the top before curing. This leaves a tacky surface for the remaining prepregs to adhere to. Leaving the clear film on the top layer provides a hard, glassy surface that is perfect for sanding.<\/p>\n<p>Once the clear film is removed, the patch can be prepared for painting. No post-curing or waiting time is required for complete curing.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; gradient_type=&#8221;default&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h2 class=\"p6\">Reduce downtime by using innovative materials<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]By following these steps, it is possible to perform a <span class=\"s1\"><strong>wind blade repair<\/strong><\/span> efficiently, reducing the costs of <span class=\"s1\"><strong>maintenance of wind turbines<\/strong><\/span> and ensuring a long operational life.
