2. Weld the damaged area.
•
For repair of a cracked area, melt the crack together with a heat gun and a melting attachment.
•
For repair of a hole, degrease the area on
both sides of the bumper and apply aluminium
tape on the reverse side of the damage area.
3. Melt the polypropylene welding rod with a heat
gun and deposit it the cracked area.
Note
•
Heat the shaded area to melt it.
•
Take care not to overly melt welding rod. If the part is welded with the welding rod melted like jelly, the
welding strength will be reduced.
•
Hold the heat gun 10—20 mm {0.39—0.79 in} from the part being welded.
•
Do not move the welding rod until the welded parts cool.
