Step 4 - Clean the abraded area with a wipe dampened with alcohol, and blow dry with air.
Step 5 - Fill any large depressions or voids with tape, as required, to restore the cable contour as follows:
WARNING: Application of too much heat will cause the adhesive to flow and may cause burns if it comes in contact with the skin.
Cut off short strips of the adhesive tape and heat them slightly with the heat gun to soften them. Roll the tape with your fingers and press it into the damaged area. Repeat the process until the damaged
area is filled, then, holding the heat gun approximately l00 mm (4 in)
away, apply just enough heat to the tape to form and contour the tape
to the cable (see figure lBl-3).
