This is how it's done: Welding umpers
Drill a hole of approx. 5 mm in diameter at
both ends of the crack to visually mark the
crack ends and prevent further cracking.
Using an angle grinder/milling tool, remove
approx. 1 mm of material over a width of
approx. 20 mm on either side of the crack
to insert the stainless-steel mesh later on.
Using an orbital sander, now sand off the
paint across a width of approx. 40 mm all
the way round the crack.
Fit the heat guard, reduction nozzle and re-
pair nozzle to the hot-air outlet nozzle. Set the
hot air gun to 650 °C/air flow rate to speed 8
and save this setting to programme 4. The
gun is ready for use after approx. 3 mins.
While the gun is warming up, cut the stain-
less-steel mesh to size. Dimension: 10 mm
longer than the crack, extending by 20 mm
beyond the crack on either side. Round off
the corners.
Cracks with a length of up to 10 cm can
be repaired without removing the bumper.
If material has broken out of the bumper,
the damaged area should be repaired from
both sides.
Dear Customer
Thank you for purchasing the STEINE plastic
repair kit for motor vehicles. This brochure
describes a new method of repairing motor
vehicle plastics. From now on, the special
welding rod and specially developed vehicle
repair nozzle will make it easier and save time
welding a whole host of plastic components.
GB Plastic repair kit for motor vehicles
What's different a out this system?
The special welding rod can be used on all
thermoplastics. As a result, the painstaking
process of finding out the type of plastic you
want to work on now belongs to the past.
Important: the Multi-Thermoflexx welding rod
must always be used in conjunction with the
stainless steel wire mesh. It is highly flexible,
extremely resistant to stress cracking and
bonds well with all thermoplastics. Thermoplas-
tics can be worked and re-worked over long
periods.
Best results can only be achieved with the
Multiflexx welding rod by using the vehicle
repair nozzle (see "This is how it's done").
For further details on the tool and its applications, please refer to the
HG 2320 CD operating instructions.

Not suitable for repairing:
– rubber parts
– pipes
– load-bearing parts
– film, foil or sheeting
Caution:
Unfamiliar plastics present a risk of
fire and poisoning. Carry out a
melting test on an inconspicuous
spot to identify the thermoplastic
material. Always ensure good ven-
tilation while working.
Do not inhale vapours.
Please note that when working
on the motor vehicle, its fuel may
increase the risk of explosion.
Always observe the safety warnings
in the operating instructions provid-
ed with the HG 2320 CD.
