Heat
welding seams |

| Preparation Seams must be grooved and clear of debris before welding. Clean hot air welding nozzle with wire brush. Turn gun on, set to correct temperature and leave to heat for a full 10 minutes. Test weld on a scrap piece of flooring. Weld rod should fuse without burning or discolouring. Welding When heat setting is correct, cut the right colour of weld rod to the required seam length. Start at one end, put rod into nozzle and begin welding. Carefully move gun along seam at constant speed of 2-3 feet (60-90cm) per minute. N.B. If welding is too fast, rod will not fuse properly. |
|
Keep speed nozzle
at right angles to the floor. Do not lean gun to left
or right. You may need to weld half the length of the seam and trim off, then weld from the opposite end overlapping onto the trimmed weld at the centre. Regulate heat and speed to make a 'wake' on either side of the welding rod. If 'wake' turns dark, lower heat setting. Wheel arches and verticals Grooving is not always needed where walls and floor form a natural 90 degree angle. Weld around wheel arches and verticals with mushroom or bus weld rod to avoid the need to trim or caulk (seal). Round rod will require trimming. |
