ABSTRACT:
A method and kit for stripping resin skin from part of the length of an optical fiber ribbon, allowing access over that length to the optical fibers in the ribbon. The method is simple and the method and kit are environmentally friendly. A strong liquid adhesive, such as cyanoacrylate, is used, with a special panel made of one of either of two materials, neoprene or nitrile, especially suitable for bonding to the ribbon skin using a strong liquid adhesive. The special panel avoids two problems plaguing methods of the prior art: finding a flat clean work surface, and cleanup.
