Auto repair their own hands, plaster

At this time in the publication of "auto repair their own hands, plaster, we'll talk about how the putty car, if there is a deformation of the body. Example we will dent of the hammer on the front wing. This problem - a phenomenon quite often, and you probably know him. For work first thing to do is to put on protective gloves. Now we can proceed directly to the work itself - straightening dents. When straightening the main thing - do not overdo it, otherwise, instead of dents can get the bulge. The next step - impose a filler so that the thickness did not exceed 5 - 6 mm. Previously purchased in an auto shop wiping trimmed dent. Now thoroughly cleans the surface dents, formed by removing the dirt. To detect small defects, imperceptible at first glance, assessing dents should be hand, rather than using your fingers. This will allow better assessment of defect size from very small defects. Now you can begin to sweep the surface of the paint and possible corrosion. We clean their hands surface dents, grabbing around the surrounding areas. In order to expedite the process of grinding, it is reasonable to use the grinding wheel. Once the surface is sanded, it must be clean again. For proper cleaning is not enough to wipe or blow the surface dents. Better to use rub for the panel. In the auto shops sold filler of two types: a mixture of putty for repair professionals and mix to repair their own hands - for the fans. When choosing fillers, there is one thing that must be considered. It is the presence of zinc-coated parts for your car. Read the manual use of fillers, from which you can find out whether you can use putty without prior sanding and priming. Another very important factor for successful repair of his hands is a strict adherence to the proportions of hardener and filler at the time of mixing. For these purposes, you can use the weights. The best option is to use a device called "dispenser." With it you can not only make the correct ratio of ingredients of the mixture, but save a lot of filler for a long time. It is worth paying attention to the material from which made the surface on which the process of preparation of putty. Should not be used for this purpose board. Cardboard, if it prepare a mixture, due to air content will change the overall composition of putty. Of the ingredients simply absorbed into the cardboard. To carry out this work fits a clean plastic or metal sheet. To prepare the mixture for puttying own hands, we must pick up the spatula cure, pour it into the filler, and press with a spatula so as to push through the mixture. For the manufacture of the mixture, which includes glass fibers, used other methods work. Pushing hardener, you remove the air from the mixture. Most components of a mixture of different colors, which facilitates the process of mixing. Trying to speed up the drying process, some motorists add to the mix increased the amount of hardener, which leads eventually to the fact that plaster, vysohnuv becomes fragile. The next stage of repair dent body with his hands is puttying prepared surface. Pressed the movement strike a filler, and the direction of movement must go from top to bottom and at the same time in the party. The basic requirement - to make the surface as smooth as possible dents to not formed sections with a convex surface (no waves). This work must be done quickly, because if you hesitated, putty dries and will be unfit for further use. Drying time for amateur mixes designed for plastering repairs, takes about half an hour. In occupational mix - 15 minutes. It is advisable to put on the surface of the dried putty powder coating Developing a contrasting color. It's time to polishing. First of all, it is necessary to protect against damage to that surface that needs no polishing. At the initial stage of grinding is necessary to use sandpaper grade P80. In some cases, instructions for use putty manufacturer specifies what grit should be used. During the grinding, you will see that the coating of contrasting color wears evenly formed small "depression". If this happens, then we must once again podshpaklevat surface dents. Make primary grinding, remove the formed dust, and continue to grind their own hands, this time using paper R180 and later with the use of paper P280-320. Polishing must be carried out carefully, since any omitted scratch after painting will be visible. Making sanding, never wets the surface of the work. The fact that water is absorbed, and after a while on the surface of the repaired area formed small bubbles in the paint and corrosion. Caulking can peel off. During grinding must constantly remove dust using a vacuum or brush. Preferably in the process of grinding using a protective mask because the dust clouds - is ubiquitous. Specialists remove dust by using a special adhesive tape. If a dent in the back of cars is quite large, it may happen that it will have to putty a few times. The process works the same as that in the first case. It is advisable to use a professional plaster as it dries quickly. Once struck another layer of putty after sanding, make sure your hands smooth layer. And this check should always be done with the help of your palm. Do not use the car as long as paint the repaired area. Unpainted surface sealer will absorb moisture. Caulking, by itself, almost harmless, but the dust that gets into the lungs during the repair work of grinding, and after mixing, the composition of which is not shown. Better care of yourself before work, and equip properly - wear a mask, gloves, goggles and, of course, old clothes on top of the overalls. Good tools - one of the components of the good work! For a successful auto repair dents with their own hands, you'll need a putty knife and everything else that you use during the grinding, putty (paper), liquid paint stripper, etc. In order to serve for a long spatula, do not forget to thoroughly clean it from putty upon completion of repairs. If during the auto body dents puttying you use dirty spatula, then wait for a good result following an operation is not necessary. For demanding polishing metal is better to use a special grinding pneumonic or electric cars. First, they reduce the processing time of the surface, and secondly cherish your strength.
