Abstract:
1. A method of assembling a structure comprising at least the steps of: providing a sub-structure, providing a layer of electrically insulant woven cloth having opposed first and second outer surfaces and which layer is impregnated with a non-epoxy sealant that substantially prevents the passage of at least one of water, aircraft fuel and oil through the cloth, the impregnated electrically insulant cloth being substantially compressible, between the outer surfaces of the layer, assembling an outer layer with the sub-structure such that the electrically insulant cloth lies substantially between the outer layer and the sub-structure, exerting pressure on the structure during assembly to cause the impregnated electrically insulant cloth to compress such that the structure has a predetermined thickness.
