Welding of longer incisions with larger depth
Welding of longer incisions with larger depth
Hi,
the next group of repair examples deal with larger cuts aka incisions.
In the next couple of days I will post the following repair tutorials:
- Welding of short incisions with small depth;
- Welding of short incisions with larger depth;
- Welding of longer incisions with small depth;
- Welding of longer incisions with larger depth.
The following use case is an excerpt from Indigo's handbook for the CWA .
In section V. "Application examples", part A, several repairs without material tension are showcased.
For this repair, you can use Indigo's replacement for Chinese "TPE glue", which actually is a Cold-welding TPE & TPR diffusion adhesive (CWA). This "TPE glue" alternative was developed by German company Indigo Individual, also known for a TPE repair kit, a stain remover and a magnetic M16 connector.
The example below explains how to weld a longer incision with larger depth.
Longer incisions are problematic in that the edges of the incision may shift, creating visible and feelable edges.
Therefore, longer incisions are welded step by step.
For fixation and stabilization, duct tape (scotch tape) is recommended.
The following procedure is a combination of welding in depth and welding longer incisions.
This incision is 13cm long and up to 5cm deep:
The incision is first welded in depth and over the entire length.
With a total length of 13cm you can do this in one step. Longer incisions should be welded in several steps at depth.
Some duct tape is being used over the middle of the incision to prevent the incision from opening:
After 8 hours curing time, the incision is welded in the depth.
Now, the long incision is welded in several steps:
The fixation with several duct tapes across the entire length of the incision now ensures stabilization.
Between the duct tapes you now have the opportunity to weld in small sections of short length:
After curing of the diffusion adhesive, the steps described above are repeated.
The post-processing is carried out after the curing of the diffusion adhesive. This is covered in section VI. "Post-processing" of the handbook. Every customer will receive the unabbreviated manual as PDF file.
