RIGID WATER TIGHT REPAIR WRAP

1 . A repair system, the repair system comprising:

an inanimate object having first and second portions and a broken portion positioned between the first and second portions;

a fabric, wherein the fabric includes one or more fibers; and

a hardening material, wherein the hardening material:

is pre-impregnated in the fabric in an inactivated state; and

the amount of pre-impregnated hardening material is sufficient to completely saturate the fabric;

wherein the pre-impregnated fabric is wrapped around the first and second portions of the inanimate object in direct contact with the inanimate object; and

wherein curing the hardening material forms a shell about the first and second portions of the inanimate object, wherein the shell:

has high impact strength; and

is water tight.

2 . The repair system of claim 1 , wherein completely saturating the fabric includes:

adding sufficient hardening material to eliminate portions of the fabric without hardening material; and

refraining from adding an amount of hardening material that will create one or more channels through the hardening material during curing.

3 . The repair system of claim 1 , wherein no channels exist that extend through the cured hardening material.

4 . The repair system of claim 1 , wherein the hardening material includes:

a resin.

5 . The repair system of claim 4 , wherein the resin includes:

a two part epoxy.

6 . The repair system of claim 4 , wherein the resin includes:

methylene diphenyl diisocyanate.

7 . The repair system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more fibers include:

fiberglass.

8 . The repair system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more fibers include:

carbon fiber.

9 . The repair system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more fibers include at least one of:

aramid fibers; or

para-aramid fibers.

10 . The repair system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more fibers include:

basalt fibers.

11 . The repair system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more fibers include at least one of:

polyester; or

nylon.

12 . The repair system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more fibers include:

natural fibers.

13 . The repair system of claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the fabric is such that it has a weight of between 180 grams per square meter and 450 grams per square meter.

14 . The repair system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more fibers are woven to form the fabric.

15 . The repair system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more fibers are knit to form the fabric.

16 . A repair system, the repair system comprising:

an inanimate object including first and second portions and a broken portion positioned between the first and second portion;

a fabric, wherein the fabric includes:

one or more fibers; and

the one or more fibers are knit to form the fabric; and

a resin disposed in the fabric, wherein:

the resin is pre-impregnated in the fabric in an inactivated state; and

the amount of pre-impregnated resin is the amount that just barely but completely saturates the cloth;

the resin is water activated; and

the resin is configured to cure in exposure to air;

wherein the fabric is wrapped around the first and second portions of the inanimate object and in direct contact with the inanimate object;

wherein curing the resin forms a shell about the first and second portions of the inanimate object, wherein:

the shell has high impact strength; and

the shell is water tight;

no channels exist that extend through the cured hardening material; and

wherein a ratio of resin to fabric by weight is 0.29:1 to 0.44:1.

17 . The repair system of claim 16 , wherein the resin includes an additive disposed in the resin.

18 . The repair system of claim 17 , wherein the additive includes at least one of:

rubber;

sand;

wood particles; or

sawdust.

19 . The repair system of claim 16 , wherein the inanimate object comprises at least one of:

wood;

metal;

glass;

plastic;

rubber;

composites;

fiberglass;

ceramic; or

concrete.

20 . The repair system of claim 16 , wherein the ratio of resin to fabric by weight is approximately 0.365:1.
