Hi Russell
Partial answer I'm afraid. I have hunted around a little but all I can come up with thus far for EPP is expanded polypropylene, which is presumably irrelevant, or epoxy powder paint, which may be more relevant if your author has expressed himself rather poorly. The way it is written it looks like a welding technique, but I've never heard of it in either English or Italian. On the other hand, it would be fairly standard practice to apply an epoxy powder coat to a metal drawer I suppose...
Cheers
Derek

Comment: "Hi Derek
I did eventually find a few English websites referring to EPP spot welding; there was no explanation but I felt safe enough using it. Thanks.

Dear Russell,
I found EPP in Eurodicautom translated as equal pressure points and thought this could make sense. Good luck!

https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saldatura
La saldatura per puntatura ( tack welding ), salvo quando il termine non sia utilizzato impropriamente per indicare la saldatura puntuale di cui sopra, non si riferisce ad un particolare processo di saldatura, quanto piuttosto ad un'applicazione particolare dei processi di saldatura già accennati. Si tratta di generare punti di saldatura sul perimetro dei pezzi da unire, senza creare cioè un cordone di saldatura ovvero una saldatura continua senza interruzioni, quanto realizzando molteplici punti posti a distanze più o meno regolari tra loro. Questo modo di procedere viene spesso usato per unire parti sottoposte a scarsi sforzi meccanici, o comunque tra le quali la saldatura non debba creare un giunto ermetico. Viene utilizzato tipicamente in processi di saldatura non automatizzati come imbastitura utile a tenere assieme le parti in vista di una successiva saldatura continua.
