Process
No.Process name Job contents
9 WeldingUsing a heater gun and PP welding rod, weld the beveled spot while melting the rod and dam-
aged area.
G5M0167
NOTE:
IMelt the sections indicated by hatched area.
IDo not melt welding rod until it flows out, in order to provide strength.
IAlways keep the heater gun 1 to 2 cm (0.4 to 0.8 in) away from the welding spot.
ILeave the welded spot unattended until it cools completely.
10 Sanding (II)Remove excess part of weld with a putty knife. If a drill or disc wheel is used instead of the
knife, operate it at a rate lower than 1,500 rpm and grind the excess part little by little. A higher
rpm will cause the PP substrate to melt from the heat.
G5M0168
Sand the welded spot smooth with #240 sand paper.
11 MaskingMask the black substrate section using masking tape.
Recommended masking tape: Nichiban No. 533 or equivalent
12Cleaning/
degreasingCompletely clean the entire coated area, using solvent similar to that used in Process No. 4.
13 Primer coatingApply a coat of primer to the repaired surface and its surrounding areas. Mask these areas, if
necessary.
Recommended primer: Mp/ 364 PP Primer
NOTE:
Be sure to apply one coat of primer at a spraying pressure of 245 to 343 kPa
(2.5 to 3.5 kg/cm
2, 36 to 50 psi) with a spray gun.
14 Leave unattended.Leave the repaired area unattended at 20ÉC (68ÉF) for 10 to 15 minutes until primer is half-dry.
NOTE:
If dirt or dust gets on the coated area, wipe it off with a cloth dampended with alcohol. (Do not
use thinner since the coated area tends to melt.)
15Primer surfacer
coatingApply a coat of primer surfacer to the repaired area two or three times at an interval of 3 to 5
minutes.
Recommended surfacer:
IUPS 300 Flex Primer
INo. 303 UPS 300 Exclusive hardener
INPS 725 Exclusive Reducer (thinner)
IMixing ratio:2:1(UPS 300: No. 303)
IViscosity: 12 Ð 14 sec/20ÉC (68ÉF)
ICoated film thickness: 40 Ð 50
16 Drying Allow the coated surface to dry for 60 minutes at 20ÉC (68ÉF) [or 30 minutes at 60ÉC (140ÉF)].
17 Sanding (III) Sand the coated surface and its surrounding areas using #400 sand paper and water.
