The body structural adhesives used harden at temperatures of between → Minimum temperature: 18°C and → Maximum temperature: 80°C .
Information
Infrared heaters only heat small sections of the body and are therefore only suitable for minor repairs.
- Only use devices with temperature control, automatic distance measurement and measuring point display, e.g. infrared heater WE xxxx or infrared heater WE xxxx .
Hardening can be accelerated by heat (e.g. using an infrared heater or in a painting booth).
Do not put pressure on bonded parts until the required assembly strength is reached.
