I-CAR Best Practice: MIG Brazing Panel Preparation
Periodically, I-CAR Repairability Summits are held to bring together collision industry stakeholders and subject matter experts to develop collision repair processes and best practices for repair of late-model, collision damaged vehicles. In the I-CAR Repairability Summit the topic of MIG brazing panel preparation was discussed.
This topic was chosen from feedback that was received from various sources and was a common area of that lacked documentation or clear understanding. At the conclusion of the I-CAR Repairability Summit a draft I-CAR Best Practice was created and was further vetted by the inter-industry to develop the I-CAR Best Practice: MIG Brazing Panel Preparation.
