The following procedures should be followed when repairing all types of thermoset plastic:
• | Follow the manufacturer's application and curing recommendations. |
• | Do not intermix systems. Use the supplies and the repair materials from the same manufacturer. |
• | Clean the inner and outer surfaces of the repair area with a soap impregnated scouring pad in order to remove any dirt or mold release agent. |
• | Clean the area with a wax and grease remover, using only enough of the remover to dampen a cloth. Allow the panel to dry thoroughly. |
• | Remove the surface finish from the area to be repaired. Adhesives are designed to adhere to the plastic substrate, not the finish. |
• | Prime a metal surface before applying the repair material. |
• | Inspect the rear side of the work area before making repairs in order to avoid possible damage to wires, motors, etc. |
