One-Day Plastic Repair and Refinishing Course (PR-04)
This one-day course will teach students how to repair and refinish automotive plastic parts like bumper covers, headlight tabs, fender liners, fluid reservoirs, and more.
Students will get hands-on experience using the nitrogen plastic welder to make strong repairs on a variety of damaged plastic parts. Emphasis will be placed on the proper nitrogen fusion welding technique.
Students will also observe a step-by-step demonstration of the proper use of plastic refinishing products such as adhesion promoter, filler, and primer. This course will also include a demonstration of the proper way to remove dents from bumper covers.
Shops that take advantage of plastic repair opportunities can experience reduced cycle time, reduced average cost to repair, and increased profits.
The PR-04 is a condensed version of our two-day course offered at the factory. It will take approximately 8 hours to complete. This course is intended to be delivered in the customer’s place of business, so the facilities for instruction will not be as complete. Due to time and facility constraints, some compromises will have to be made with regard to instruction.
This course is designed to be:
- Delivered by one instructor,
- using two welders and two workstations,
- for up to four technicians per session (two techs at each workstation),
- in the customer’s shop by Polyvance-trained instructors.
Training Objectives:
- Identify different plastic types
- Understand the basic nitrogen welding process
- Properly operate the nitrogen plastic welder
- Prep plastic parts for welding
