PANEL REPAIRS

PROCEDURES 77-2-23

3. Use a resistance spot welder where access 

permits. Try to  ensure weld quality by using a 
welding monitor where possible. 

4. MIG tack weld butt joints and re-check 

alignment and panel  contours where 
necessary. Ensure that a gap is maintained to       
minimise welding distortion, by inserting a 
hacksaw blade as an approximate guide.

5. Dress MIG tack welds using a sander with 36 

grit disc, or a belt-type sander where access is 
limited.

6. MIG seam weld butt joints.
