## Discrepancy

INSPECTION FOUND THE ANTI-STATIC MATERIAL WAS FALLING OFF.  THE PANEL HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN REPAIRED LESS THAN ONE YEAR. THE REPAIR IS A SAAB APPROVED REPAIR THAT BONDS STATIC ELECTRICITY CONDUCTIVITY MATERIAL (EXPANDED ALUMINUM) TO REPLACE THE ALUMINUM FOIL.  THE SAAB PROCEDURE IS INADEQUATE TO ACHIEVE A RELIABLE BOND.  SUBMITTER STATED SAAB AND/OR THE FAA SHOULD IMMEDIATELY DISAPPROVE THIS PROCEDURE AND ALL PANELS REPAIRED PER THIS PROCEDURE SHOULD BE REPAIRED USING THE SAAB APPROVED PROCEDURE OF FLAME SPRAY.  NOTE: ON 7-23-97, PN 7253501-712, HAD SAME PROBLEM AND DEFECT REPORT WAS SUBMITTED.
