PCT No. PCT/GB92/00028 Sec. 371 Date Jul. 9, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Jul. 9, 1993 PCT Filed Jan. 7, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO92/11997 PCT Pub. Date Jul. 23, 1992.A wraparound heat shrinkable sheet for covering pipes or cables is positioned therearound so its longitudinal edges overlap. A first patch is then positioned over the lapped edges, and a second patch, which is wider than the first patch, positioned over the first patch and secured to the underlying wrapped sheet. Heat is then applied, preferably by hot mastic. The heat acts to shrink the sheet which tensions the second patch, thereby directing a radial force downward onto the first patch. |
