is there any way to repair a crack in a bumper? the parts are not separated or anything, just about 10 inches or more of cracked abs. was wondering if there was anyway to fuse the plastic back together and bondo over to get a smooth finish? i will include a pic when i get home, im at work now.

 

they huave this crap at autoparts stores called plastic weld. i have never used it, and i dont know anyone that has, but i guess you could start there

 

I don't think that would work


Post pics of the damage so I can help you better...I work at a body shop.

 

i will also be posting some pictures of my bumper damage to see if you can help me out

 

I got the perfect thing for you. Check out jlautoworks.ca or .com i dont remember. He's a buddy of mine that sells plastic welders. I bought one myself, works awsome on any type of plastic even lexan or ABS

Or check out ProTech, based out of Winnipeg Mb, Canada

 

anybody used solvent adhesive made of ABS shavings and acetone? makes a chemical bond of solid ABS.

saw it here... http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=45050

 

OMFG !!! Thank God I found this post !!!

I have the EXACT same problem. I was at a party one night and had to park out in a dirt field ( didnt like the idea to start with ) but everything was fine got in and parked just fine litte bumby but no problems. BUT when I was leaving I hit this like huge ass hole, everyone saw me hit it and saw the damge to my beautiful teggy. My bumer snapped off the car so it was dragging, then it got caught and freaking tore !! I drove home some 30 miles at 5 mph with my flashers on... The crack right now is currently held togther with duck tape and a screw near the top of the bumper to hold it to the car. It was the easiest fix I could think of since I didnt know what the hell to do and was like freaking out. So far it's stayed on and been good to me, but I want to fix it without having to replace the entire bumber.

SOOO... How would i go about fixing this here crack in my bumber. Im a total noob to the whole bondo, adhesive thing so imma need like step by step instructions.

Here are some pics...

 

yes. there are many products like that around. one that is cheap and high-quality is Plastex. it's powdered ABS and acetone. it's a very easy process and holds very very well. i worked @ a cycle shop, and we always repaired fairings and such w/ this product. i usee it all the time, look into it. i've used it several times on my own car.

go to this website, and go to the "Online Store" to order if you're interested.
Small kit - $9.95, standard kit - $24.95, master kit - $54.95... also available is the shop kit - $99.95 (what i last bought)
