Galvanized sheets require different repair methods than regular steel panels:
- When welding galvanized panels in a protective gas environment, the welding spot is more porous than when welding ordinary steel panels. Increase the number of welding spots by 10%.
- When burning in the welding area, zinc releases harmful gas. Use personal protective equipment.
- Before applying putty to galvanized steel panels, thoroughly sand the smooth galvanized surface (remove the shine), to increase the adhesion of the putty to the galvanized metal.
- When working with galvanized steel panels, use only epoxy-based body filler.
