ABSTRACT:
A tool is preferably landed in a downhole profile commonly found adjacent to seal bores. Once landed, preferably with coiled tubing, pressure in the coiled tubing triggers a switch to power a motor to rotate a polishing cylinder that features spirally wound vanes. A reservoir of resin or other repair material is connected to an injection pump to deliver the material as the vanes are rotating. The material exits between the vanes so that the vanes can spread it and work it into surface irregularities. After the material is sufficiently spread into voids and the requisite polishing completed, the seal bore is again ready to accept a tool in a sealed relationship.
