Narrative:

While doing a right-hand throttle gearbox rii; I noticed erosion on the ram air intake of a crj-200 aircraft. I determined that the erosion did not appear to go through two layers of material. I then started looking for a reference for a temporary repair. Ram air control system was first and no reference was found. I had a bit of trouble finding the reference in the structural repair manual (srm); but did. At this point I was feeling pushed for time. The srm also stated that the damage should be measured. I failed to do this. The mechanic then taped up the damage in accordance with (in accordance with) the srm at my direction. Suggest slowing down; read; understand; and comply.
