Abstract: Heavy wall, ceiling and floor coverings with closed surfaces can be pulled or pushed off relatively easily if the material connecting the coating with the substrate in an adhesive joint can at least be loosened with the aid of a stripping fluid. In accordance with the invention, a stripping fluid is pressed in an air-free, pulse-like way with the aid of a needle nozzle (1) through the coating with a high pressure into the adhesive joint (FIG. 1).

Abstract: According to the present invention, apertures are stamped in the outer flange of the vehicle body and a plurality of depressions are stamped into the inner panel of the vehicle body at a spacing corresponding with the spacing of the apertures of the outer panel. The panels are welded together with the outer panel flange overlying the inner panel flange and the plurality of apertures communicating with the plurality of depressions. The adhesive is applied and flows through the aperture and into the depressions. When the adhesive cures, the bead of adhesive has both an adhesive connection to the outer flange and also a mechanical connection with the inner and outer panels by virtue of having flowed into the depressions.
