Sanding (II)
Remove excess part of weld with a putty knife. If a drill or disc wheel is used instead of the knife,
operate it at a rate lower than 1,500 rpm and grind the excess part little by little. A higher rpm will
cause the PP substrate to melt from the heat.
Sand the welded spot smooth with #240 sand paper.
11
Masking
Mask the black substrate section using masking tape.
Recommended masking tape: Nichiban No. 533 or equivalent
12
Cleaning/
degreasing
Completely clean the entire coated area, using solvent similar to that used in Process No. 4.
13
Primer coating
Apply a coat of primer to the repaired surface and its surrounding areas. Mask these areas, if nec-
essary.
Recommended primer: Mp/ 364 PP Primer
NOTE:
Be sure to apply one coat of primer at a spraying pressure of 245 to 343 kPa
(2.5 to 3.5 kg/cm
2
, 36 to 50 psi) with a spray gun.

Leave unattended.
Leave the repaired area unattended at 20
°
C (68
°
F) for 10 to 15 minutes until primer is half-dry.
NOTE:
