Hang-Paint Hook Care: Build-Up Removal and Contact Point Standards

Hang-Paint Hook Care: Build-Up Removal and Contact Point Standards — 挂漆钩具保养:积漆清除与接触点标准.

A working reference designed to be printed and used at the line. It complements the failure case studies in the Technician Hub with the standard documents those cases eventually produced.

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

MistakeWhy It HappensPractical Fix
1. Spraying on built-up hooksPaint flakes contaminate fresh workStrip hooks on schedule
2. Judging bake by lookUnder-bake passes visual, fails adhesionRecord strips; keep archive

Best Practices

  • Hook strip schedule by cycle count
  • Wet film gauge at the booth
  • Bake strip archive per week

Hook and Bake Discipline

  1. Check hook build-up - Strip per schedule (Flakes ruin fresh paint)
  2. Wet film first part - Adjust before continuing (Never skip first-part check)
  3. Bake strip in oven - File the record (Look is not cure)

First-part wet film checks

Scenario. Film build drifted after color changes and passed visual checks.

Action. Wet film gauge check on the first part of every color.

Result. Adhesion complaints from plating-side customers dropped to zero.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should hooks be stripped?

On a cycle count, before build-up flakes. Flakes land on fresh paint.

Why check wet film on the first part?

Every color change shifts the setup. One reading per change prevents a whole run at the wrong film.

Is a visual bake check enough?

No. Under-bake passes visually and fails adhesion testing. Recorder strips are the evidence.
