46
Q

name is a disadvantage that other JOINING METHODS like BOLTING, RIVETING, and WELDING, ADHESIVE BONDING

in STEP 1 of the surface preparation procedure, what is used to pick up debris rather than blowing it off with the risk of it resettling on the surface

A

TACK CLOTH

50
Q

STEP 2 of the surface preparation procedure

CURING MECHANISM

53
Q

5 types of CURING MECHANISMS
