Process overview (by steps)
1. Tools and materials preparation
The video starts with an overview of tools and materials required for PVC teak welding and panel assembly.
2. Profile alignment and panel preparation
Correct alignment of PVC synthetic teak profiles is demonstrated to ensure straight seams and accurate panel geometry.
3. Adhesive bonding of PVC teak profiles
Profiles are glued into panels before welding. Proper bonding is critical for seam quality and long-term durability.
4. Quality check before welding
Bonded profiles are inspected to ensure correct positioning and sufficient adhesive curing.
5. Hot air welding technique
Hot air welding is used to fuse PVC teak profiles and welding rod into a single homogeneous joint.
6. Feeding the welding rod and seam formation
The video shows correct feeding of the PVC welding rod and formation of a clean, tight seam.
