I have a pretty F*d up front bumper cover. Do they make some sort of plastic weld stuff to repair those?

Thanks,

Yes. I believe our bumpers are ABS, but they're definitely thermoplastic anyway. You can buy a plastic welder nd get rods for whatever type of plastic you're using. The electric ones look like a hot glue gun and the plastic rods are like thinner, longer glue sticks. I've seen them on ebay a bunch of times, though industrial supply places may have them as well as auto body suppliers.

Body shops have a filler compound for bumpers as well. It works OK on ABS covers because glue sticks pretty well to ABS. I haven't personally seen any in Pep Boys, etc but I haven't looked either. Probably a professional paint / body supply shop would have it. It works like Bondo (cuz it is, more or less, just a bit more flexible)

I wouldn't bet large coin on it holding up too long though. Remember you must repaint with flex additive or the paint will crack, on any bumper cover (or when painting plastic cladding of any kind)

Cool, thanks for the help, I'll check the place down my street for that glue gun thingy
