Frequently Asked Questions - HG 2320 E K STEINEL

What type of plastic can be welded with the car repair kit?

The Multi-Thermoflexx welding wire can weld all thermoplastic materials. It is not necessary to determine the type of plastic beforehand.

How to prepare a crack on a bumper before welding?

Drill a 5 mm hole at the ends of the crack to prevent it from spreading. Abrade 1 mm of material on each side for 20 mm, then strip the paint 40 mm around.

What temperature and air flow to use for the repair?

Set the device to 650 °C and air flow 8. Save this setting to Program 4. The device is ready after about 3 minutes of heating.

How to use the stainless steel mesh?

Cut the mesh 10 mm longer than the crack, with a 20 mm overlap on each side. Round the corners. Melt it into the plastic using the repair nozzle, applying even pressure.

When to use the Multi-Thermoflexx welding wire?

After melting the stainless steel mesh, apply the welding wire by heating the wire and the base evenly. The wire becomes ductile and bonds to the plastic.

Can a bumper be repaired without removing it?

Yes, if the crack does not exceed 10 cm. Otherwise, treat the damaged area from both sides.

What safety precautions to take during the repair?

Work in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling fumes. Beware of explosion risk in the presence of fuel. Use the provided heat protection.

How to repair a torn mounting tab?

Cut the stainless steel mesh to the width of the tab, 60 mm long. Abrade the material, melt the mesh on one side, then place the tab and melt the other side. Apply the welding wire.

Which parts cannot be repaired with this kit?

The kit is not suitable for rubber parts, pipes, load-bearing parts, or films.

How to maintain the heat gun?

Clean the nozzles regularly to prevent blockages. Store the device in a dry place. Check the condition of the power cable.

GB Plastic repair kit for motor vehicles

Dear Customer

Thank you for purchasing the STEINEL 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.

What's different about 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.

bonds well with all thermoplastics. Thermoplastics can be worked and re-worked over long periods.
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
Best results can only be achieved with the Multiflexx welding rod by using the vehicle repair nozzle (see "This is how it's done").

Additional safety notification

Not suitable for repairing:

• rubber parts
• pipes
• load-bearing parts
• film, foil or sheeting

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 provided with the HG 2320 LCD.

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 ventilation while working. Do not inhale vapours.

For further details on the tool and its applications, please refer to the HG 2320 LCD operating instructions.

This is how it's done: Welding bumpers

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.

①Drill a hole of approx. 5 mm in diameter at both ends of the crack to visually mark the crack ends and prevent further cracking.

② 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.

③Fit the heat guard, reduction nozzle and repair 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.

④While the gun is warming up, cut the stainless-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.

⑤Using the plastic repair nozzle, fuse the stainless-steel mesh into the plastic. First fix one corner, then heat the mesh all over and fuse evenly not applying too much pressure. For this process, always work in same direction. Note: The plastic must fully penetrate the mesh

⑥Now carefully apply the Multi-Thermoflexx welding rod. Rod and surface must be evenly heated and completely fuse with the surface. The welding rod must turn ductile to produce a proper bond with the plastic material you are working on. Slowly and carefully smooth the material at the edges. Let the material cool down. Now create a surface for painting.

This is how it's done: Internal and external mounting tabs

①Repairing a detached bumper mounting tab.

②Cut stainless-steel mesh to tab width for both sides of the mounting tab. 60 mm long, half-projecting.

Procedure inside:

Using the vehicle repair nozzle, fuse the mesh into the plastic of bumper and tab. Apply the Multi-Thermoflexx welding rod and carefully fuse with surface.
