When a repair patch and the one immediately after need to be repaired flush, how is that noted?

When two adjacent repairs must be flush with the surface, you indicate that by writing two F’s in a row. The first F shows the first patch needs to be flush, and the second F shows the next patch also needs to be flush. This keeps the instruction simple and unambiguous for field work. A single F would cover only the first patch, while other forms like FL or a hyphenated F-FF could imply a different finish for one of the patches or introduce confusion about the sequence. So, FF directly communicates that both the patch and the immediately following patch must be repaired flush.
