AUTOMATIC CALIBRATION TEST WELDS
Before initiating work on the roof, we highly recommend that you complete a few test welds to ensure that the tool is functioning properly.
To check the quality of the calibration, place three (3) plates on insulation about 10-inches (25 cm) apart. Cover the plates
with a piece of membrane from the project, weld each plate, and apply a magnetic heat sink to each.
Allow plates to cool to the touch (approx 5 minutes) -- before removing the magnetic heat sinks. Turn the membrane over to
reveal the welded plates, and use pliers to peel each plate off to confirm the quality of the welds.
100% BOND
Look for total, even, and consistent 360° adhesion of membrane. The welded
plate should make a visible impression on the top of membrane, and the
membrane should delaminate to the scrim in a fairly complete circle/donut.
