6″ long so you can reach into any bottle. Contamination is the new buzzword in this industry and now that we have really started thinking about contamination it is amazing how many ways we contaminate urethane or primers.

In recent years, auto glass technicians have become more aware of contamination problems. One area of contamination is the pinchweld itself.

Phosphoric acid is commonly used in body shops as a pre-primer treatment for rust and corrosion. Once the rust or corrosion is removed down to the shiny metal, the acid is applied to neutralize left over small particles, and to etch the metal for better primer adhesion.

Many of today’s vehicles have a very narrow pinchweld. Sometimes the mouldings wrap around the pinchweld and when removing the moulding you must have a pinchweld preparation tool narrow enough to go down into the U-channel.

These Pinchweld Preparation Tools are made of spring steel and are hard enough to hold an edge, but soft enough so they will not dig into the pinchweld. Without Neoprene Cover.

Used to remove urethane and butyl from the pinchweld, our pinchweld preparation tools have a hardened steel blade that can be sharpened dozens of times.

SuperScraper™/ Prepmaster™ blades come in two widths:  5/8″ and 3/4″ wide. They are made of surgically sharp stainless steel.

SuperScraper™ blades come in three widths: 1/2″, 5/8″, and 3/4″ wide. They are made of surgically sharp stainless steel.
