Prepare Old Surfaces (Panel repairs)

4. Cut away the bulk of the panel as necessary using an air saw.

NOTE: On certain panel joints MIG welds and braze should be removed using a sander where possible, before cutting out the panel bulk.

5. Separate spot welded joints and remove panel remnants using hammer, bolster chisel and pincers.

Prepare Old Surfaces

1. Clean all panel joint edges to a bright smooth finish, using a belt-type sander.

NOTE: Prior to sanding, remove remaining sealant using a hot air gun to minimise the risk of toxic fumes caused by generated heat.

CAUTION: CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO AVOID EXCESSIVE HEAT BUILD-UP WHEN USING THIS EQUIPMENT.

2. As an alternative a disc sander may be used. Straighten existing panel joint edges using shaping block and hammer.
