Know-how Correct hot-air welding • Rule no. 1: weld like with like • In all welding processes, ensure the correct temperature/ pressure/speed settings are made so that seams can be created without problems. The joining surfaces must be dry and free from contamination. • Always check the hot-air welding device (for blocked nozzles, for defective heating elements, and in case the filter requires cleaning) • Carry out test welding and check seams for peeling • In the case of homogeneous sealing sheets, elastic bands may be used as welding aids. Avoiding air inclusions In the case of hard, uneven...
