In this video, David and Ryan, collision repair students demonstrate how to perform a butt weld.  This weld type is used when the weld area will be visible, such as sectioning a quarter panel.  The welded area is ground smooth then fiberglass filler is applied to seal the weld.  The sectioned area is finished with body filler, primer and paint.  When completed, the welded area should not be visible.

A butt weld may also use a backing plate, which is a piece of metal place behind metal being welded.  Be sure to check back often to see what we’re up to in the collision repair program.  For more Butler posts visit http://www.collisionblast.com/author/butler-bcrn/

Students Demonstrate Butt Welding

This student demonstration is entirely a student led assignment.  Each team used their textbooks, I-CAR training CDs and internet resources to produce this video.  We’re still in the learning process as these skills take many hours of practice to master.  However, as you can see, the students have accepted this challenge and are learning these skills with an enthusiastic approach, at an excelled rate, while in a contextual learning environment.  The students are well on their way to becoming the “Top Performers” in the Collision Industry.
