Abstract
A system including one or more rubber bodies with respective rubber portions. The rubber body is positionable on a preselected portion of a surface of an object. An inner side of the rubber body is engageable with the preselected portion, and an outer side thereof is opposed to the inner side. The system includes a release film positionable on the rubber body, a heating blanket positionable on the release film, and a breather fabric. The system also includes a vacuum cover engageable with the breather fabric, which is sealed along a perimeter surrounding the preselected portion of the surface. A vacuum pump is in fluid communication with an interior space partially defined by the vacuum cover, for subjecting the rubber body to a predetermined pressure. The rubber portion is vulcanizable when subjected to heat generated by the heating blanket and to the predetermined pressure.
