Protection of welding elements (Freelander 2)

Remove the cathode primer from the inside and outside of the welded area using a roughing disc. The sanded area should be as small as possible to retain as much of the cathodic primer coating as possible while being careful not to damage the zinc coating.

Application of welding primer:

NOTE: The welding primer must be well mixed before application.

Thoroughly clean the repair area (silicone remover).

Apply welding primer evenly to all flanges to be welded (old and new items).

NOTE: The welding primer must be dry before welding.

The weld reinforcement should be removed after welding, being careful not to weaken the material.

All irregularities in the weld must be removed.

If necessary, spot weld the missing dowel pins in the required position.

To avoid corrosion, the car should be completely cleaned of abrasive dust and metal chips.

Clean and prime all interior areas and areas to be sealed.

NOTE: The primer must be dry before applying sealing mastic or underbody protection. Do not use solvents when applying sealant (sealant will not dry).
