This week’s key takeaway:

Let’s talk bonding with an Application Engineer, George Di Scala

 

Episode intro:  

How a body shop understands bonding products is absolutely fundamental to the repair procedure. You can’t do good work if you don’t understand what you’re working with!

 

Joining Ben this week is George Di Scala - Application Engineering Specialist from 3M. Across three decades, George has been the main man overseeing the New Zealand and Australia markets, so he really knows what it takes for collision repairers to utilise his products in order to return vehicles in OEM condition. That’s why we do what we do... right? After half an hour listening to George, we’ll all know how to do it better.
