PROCEDURES

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

6. 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.

WARNING: Care must be taken to avoid
excessive heat build up which may be
caused by this equipment.

7. Straighten existing joint edges using shaping

block and hammer.

CAUTION: Where significant straightening
is required, heat must be applied to the
area to avoid stretching the Aluminium.

CAUTION: All tools used for working with
Aluminium must be kept separate from
those used on steel.
