An improved apparatus for repairing a pipeline by the insertion of a
resin-impregnated tubular liner is disclosed wherein the improvement
resides in an end cap that is adhesively attached to one end of the liner,
the end cap having a pull tab formed thereon and a rope attached thereto.
Once the liner has been inverted into the pipeline being repaired and the
resin-impregnated tubular liner has been disposed into intimate contact
with the interior surface of the pipeline and allowed to cure, the end cap
is easily stripped from the liner by pulling on the rope.
