Polyvance Releases New Instructional Video for SkillsUSA Competition

The video is designed to show students and instructors what will be expected of them at the SkillsUSA competition June 19-23 in Louisville, Ky., when they perform nitrogen plastic welding in the Plastic Repair Segment.

Polyvance announced it has released its latest video on YouTube, an instructional video designed to show students and instructors what will be expected of them at the SkillsUSA competition June 19-23 in Louisville, Ky., when they perform nitrogen plastic welding in the Plastic Repair Segment.

The video goes through the step-by-step procedure for the repair of a two-inch tear to the edge of a polypropylene bumper cover, a very simple repair but one that requires attention to each step of the operation.

To celebrate the demonstration of nitrogen plastic welding in this year’s SkillsUSA Plastic Repair Segment, and to support technical schools in preparing their students for the competition, Polyvance announced earlier a Tech School Rebate Program.

The purpose of this program is to get nitrogen plastic welders into the hands of tech school instructors all over North America so they can train their students in the latest technology in plastic repair. Polyvance is providing an incentive in the form of a $300 factory rebate on the purchase of a new welder when the shop’s old welder is donated to a technical school.
The process begins when a body shop donates their old nitrogen plastic welder to a local technical school of their choice, under the auspices of the Collision Repair Education Foundation. The shop would be able to take a tax deduction for the fair market value of the plastic welder.

When the body shop then purchases a new 6085-C or 6080-CG Nitro Fuzer nitrogen plastic welder from the jobber or distributor of their choice, Polyvance will provide a $300 factory rebate check to defray its cost. Polyvance will also provide free welding rod and training to the tech school instructor so they will be prepared to train their students.
