EP 34 | Rivet Bonding Hands-On Skills Development
Our latest hands-on training session at Area22 Training Centre focused on rivet bonding techniques for collision repair.
Participants learned and practised the preparation, installation, and removal of solid, blind, and self-piercing rivets (SPR). The class also covered proper rivet inspection, adjusting installation techniques, and understanding adhesive work time.
Thank you to the teams from CSN Collision , ProColor Collision Etobicoke South, Atlantic Collision Group and Fix Auto Canada for taking part!
We'd also like to thank our sponsors, 3M and Consolidated Dealers Co-Op Inc. , along with Official Milwaukee Tool and WS Wieländer+Schill for the equipment featured in the session.
