The repair of plastic parts has been something of a minefield for bodyshops over recent years with identification issues, and problems with the strength of repair often meaning that replacement rather than repair was the preferred choice. A new technology plastics repair system from Maintenance Solutions looks set to change that and is already making a big impression with repairers right across Ireland.
The Mixplast Magic Stapler is a quick, easy and effective way of repairing plastic parts and is ideal for bumpers, headlight lugs and many other plastic items. As a fully portable, rechargeable system, it is also very convenient and means that repairs can be carried out on the vehicle where required or can be done outside of the workshop.
Alan Dawson of Maintenance Solutions says, “This is a simple and cost effective tool that can have a huge impact on how a repair operation works.” He adds, “The systems means that you can repair rather than replace a huge range of plastic parts and this can mean a massive saving in terms of costs and time.” Alan says the tool can produce a strong fix in seconds and has no problems with identifying plastics, something that is increasingly important, as blended and recycled plastics become more commonplace.
The full Magic Stapler Kit includes the rechargeable stapler / heat gun, packs of staples and wire repair mesh, mains recharger and carry case. Co-Partner in Maintenance Solutions, Jonathan Martin, says, “By repairing instead of replacing parts like bumpers, a bodyshop can very quickly cover the cost of the kit, and can save a huge amount of time on other jobs.” He adds, “The Magic Stapler really is a very profitable investment for any size of operation.”
The Magic Stapler Kit is manufactured under the MixPlast banner by French company MIX, a business with over twenty years experience in the field of plastics repair.
The Magic Stapler Kit is just one item from an extensive range offered by Maintenance Solutions. This includes, bonding, sealing, cleaning, and lubrication products and tools aimed at the automotive sector.
Maintenance Solutions was formed when Alan and Jonathan bought out the Innosystems brand in Ireland in 2009. It currently has six representatives on the road covering all counties with more appointments due shortly.
