Claim 0:
1. A composite repair structure comprising:
a repair laminate comprising a resin with a resin minimum viscosity temperature; and
a film sealant with a sealant minimum viscosity temperature, disposed on a first surface of the repair laminate, wherein the composite repair structure is configured to be cured and/or bonded to a vehicle structure through positive pressure applied to the composite repair structure when the composite repair structure is coupled to the vehicle structure, wherein the sealant minimum viscosity temperature is higher than the resin minimum viscosity temperature, wherein the sealant minimum viscosity temperature is a temperature where the resin at least partially gels, and wherein the film sealant prevents air intrusion into the repair laminate during curing and/or bonding of the composite repair structure to the vehicle structure when at the resin minimum viscosity temperature.
