## SEARING CROSSPORTS 

Searing with a hot knife can repair crossports. Sear crossports as follows: 

1. The maximum rip cannot exceed ½ -inch. 

2. Frayed crossports cannot exceed the oversized template. 

3. Lay the rib area on a non-burn surface such as a piece of tempered glass. 

4. Center the template and trace the inside with a hot knife.
