Good Info Ryan :cheers
Looks good Andy. What are you using to help get the clear to kick at those temps?
Like it Jay. How is the American Blue working out?
They’ve been out for a good 5-7 years now. They were the flavor of the week at another site when they first came out. Sprayed clear better than anything else. Dont hear much about them now :pcorn:
Like the home made bed cart :stoned
All said and done, the repair should be performed the way and with the tools, equip, etc that the factory requires. Sure those other way will likey work and hold up just fine. But it wont fly in a court of law when you are being sued because the car was involved in another accident and someone got injured and their lawyer found out the repairs were not performed based on factory procedures. Also explain to a customer that is trying to trade their car in and a savy dealer see’s the car was repaired with the wrong rivots,etc and they either refuse to take the car in trade or offer a low value on it.
ppg DC3000 is ok. Glaso and Diamont came out with a fast production clear. the low VOC versions are supposed to be pretty nice. any time you get into those ultrafast 15-30 minute clear coats like HC-15, MS15 etc, you are gonna sacrafice
Well Grandma was happy with the end result.

I would use Chery Max rivets instead.[/quote]
Are they approved by BMW for use?
Looks good Jay. Thanks for sharing
[quote=”Tbar76″ post=29448]I just hosted a big fusor promo program that we installed complete fusor kits into 30 shops. part of the program was 2 hours of ICAR training for the products with focus on the sealers. I had the guys from fusor come up and we did a bunch of demos on the different patterns that can be done.
the one I thought was neat was using the semi-flow sealer (forget the #) on an old windshield. we made a 3/4″ ribbon on the glass using tape to make an even edge. using a spreader we flattened it out to 1/8″ thick by 3/4″ wide, peeled the tape back and let it set up. once it set (10-15 mins) we lifted one end and pulled it off the glass making a nice ribbon that replicated the wide seam found in some import wheel wells… then we just glued it up in there with more of the same sealer and made an OEM looking repair.
the other demo we did was playing with fusor’s sprayable seam sealer gun. by throttling the air we could make spirals, spatter or slightly rippled effects, which the guys thought was really cool.[/quote]
What were the shop using before the fusor?
The fusor sprayable gun works nice but it is a poor design. aluminum housing with threaded aluminum caps that are poorly machined. I bought one and used it once and was unable to take it back apart without a vice and some big channel locks. at that point it wasnt reusable :compsmashya. post needed to be pulled. and the dork is me :p
