Which cleaning thinners should be used for plastic part surface cleaning?
Sikkens M700 or Akripol AS700 cleaning thinner with antistatic features should be used for plastic part surface cleaning.
During which stages should surface cleaning be made in refinishes?
Surface cleaning is made before and after each sanding process in refinish operations.
What should be taken into consideration in surface cleaning?
Cleaning thinner suited to the surface should be used.
Two clean cloths should be used at all times. One should be used to wet the surface, whereas the other cloth should be used for drying before the thinner evaporates from the surface.
You should wait for the part subject to surface cleaning to reach ambient temperature especially in chilly weather.
How should the correct sanding number be selected for sanding steps?
You should apply the 100 steps rule in dry sanding operations, the difference should not exceed 100 when transferring from coarse sander to thin sander, for example, maximum P220 should be used after P120 during putty sanding operation.
What is the proper sander selection for filler primer?
The proper dry sander selection for filler primer should be P500 for P400 basecoat, the wet sander selection for solid colors should be P1000 for P800 basecoat.
Can sanders manufactured for orbital sanding machines be used manually or with a wedge?
If machine sanders are used manually or with a wedge, this may lead to deep marks and sander traces.
Can polyester putty be subject to wet sanding?
Polyesters have a foamy hydrophilic structure, thus they block the water leading to surface defects. That is why, dry sanding system should be used.
What kind of problems may arise when flash-off times are not taken into consideration?
This may lead to pinhole issues on primer or topcoats. Moreover, loss of gloss may also arise on topcoats.
What should be taken into consideration when applying polyester putty?
Filler putty should be applied on the parts up to the sheet metal, it should not be applied on old coated surface and it should be applied in thin layers.
What should be taken into consideration for thinning procedures on 2-C products using a hardener and
The proper hardener and thinner should be selected based on the product used and the correct mixing ratio should be used.
