We all know and love that foam the factory stuck in hidden places that traps water and causes rust... I knew about the front and rear of the inner rear fenders, and the ends of both trunk lids... Brace yourself, then check out the pic below! I was hoping to eliminate the foam during my restoration, but now it seems hopeless.

I know this is an old thread, I came here from a newer one but I am wondering if the wax has been put in the cavities and you weld or cut on these cavities will they catch on fire?

QUOTE(charliew @ Sep 4 2008, 10:00 AM)  I know this is an old thread, I came here from a newer one but I am wondering if the wax has been put in the cavities and you weld or cut on these cavities will they catch on fire? Yes. I've done it. As I mentioned in another thread, VW uses a lot of cavity wax. I've set a couple of VW's on fire with a plasma cutter cutting out frame rails that needed to be replaced. When you're cutting and welding you always need to keep an eye and your nose open for fires. I knew it might happen so I had a water hose and an air hose next to me to take care of it as well as a fire extinguisher nearby. I was able to use air on one and water on the other without any damage, no big deal. |
