[@ramcityfishin8563]

great result. Can get smoother results if you use spot putty before you prime. Also the sanding should have started with 80 grit for the bondo to stick the best. Still worked i see but we shouldnt jump from 80 to 320, but go from 80- 180-320- 400 This ensures the 80 is erased by 180, and 180 erased by 320, and the paint sticks to 400 just fine. otherwise it was still good. I'd recommend fiberglass sheets since they are like 3$ from walmart. And also epoxy gorilla glue @ 5$ Still not hating on your video bro!

You missed to do the most important thing: a hole at crack end to avoid It to expand!

[@speedkar99]

Yes good tip!

[@Hello_there_obi]

can you better explain that one? thank you!

[@eddiegama96]

Matt Bolt drilling a small hole at the end of the crack helps from keeping the cracked area to keep cracking due to tension.

[@abdainawi]

Million dollar suggestion

[@speedkar99]

From an engineering perspective, sharp edges are stress concentrations since it's a function of the inverse radius. At the edge of a crack the radius is zero which means stress approaches Infiniti. When you drill a hole you effectively made the crack's radius the same as the radius as the drill bit, which is far greater than the almost zero radius of the crack. Therefore the stresses in that region are a finite amount, and the bumper crack is less likely to propagate.

[@FreshCoffeeParts]

[@speedkar99]

+Matt Stearns Thanks! All the best on your repair. My only suggestion would be to Make sure you get the correct plastic body filler, otherwise there will be a fine crack where the two parts join. Bondo doesn't adhere well to plastic.

[@davidjackson3220]

speedkar99 what epoxy should we use then if not that JB Weld bondo?? I got a Nissan Altima SE-R I need to repair my front number cover myself I got a few cracks and a hole I need fixed

[@videosallnight]

Good video, but from my experience, the Bondo can initially be leveled with careful use of a spatula, eliminating the need for extensive sanding, and leaving as much of the original surface intact as possible.

[@lothianmcadam1]

The only thing I would add is, always drill a 0.125-in hole at the apex of a split (crack) prior to epoxy application. Great job. Great results. I hope your repair holds up.

[@tomharrell1954]

Well I can't say it's the way a professional would do it but the results are excellent

[@speedkar99]

Well its the way you can do it at home! A professional would probably replace the bumper, since they're fairly cheap.

[@tomharrell1954]

speedkar99 I guess you're right about that. There is a liquid two part plastic. Just like the JB weld. You put it on a piece of plastic like a sandwich bag. Mix it and push it against the bumper. Spread it like bondo. It becomes the bumper. Flip the bumper over when the plastic is hard grind out the crack and fill it with the same plastic. That actually makes the hold mend. Great job!! Show people your work and I am sure you could make some bucks,

[@tomharrell1954]

speedkar99 Pros repair them too!

[@tomharrell1954]

speedkar99 One thing would do before painting I would spray on some plastic primer adhesive. It makes the primer and paint stick better and be a little more flexible. You guys are cool. Keep it up.

[@niklashultkrantz603]

Hi it's not a ideal bumper repair. If you use epoxy on thermo plastic make the surface really rough almost hairy then oxidate the hairy surface with heat quickly with a flame torch for example that will increase the bond a lot. The epoxy is much harder then the bumper material. So the to different plastic don't cooperate well. There is another very easy way to repair a bumper that I prefer. Fix the bumper like you did and use a solder iron to melt the bumper together from the inside. If a small piece of bumper material is missing you can use a part from another bumper as a plastic welding rod or to increase the welding joint if needed. I saved a fortune on repairing bumpers like this and the bumpers was broken up till 4 pieces.

[@sin-sinner7192]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIbUpHt3nZqkkJo

[@ShadowMonkey71]

For anyone wondering when he mentions in the comments and video about the correct filler: he's talking about bumpers needing plastic filler instead of body filler like he used in the video @2:16 (this is because bumpers need to be more flexible or it can crack again from the strain). I used Flex Filler on amazon due to price to amount ratio ($30 for 10oz). You can get a bondo bumper repair kit but it gives you way less filler in the kit (2oz of product for $19); it does come with sandpaper and all the other materials so it's only for small areas

I fixed my bumper using construction adhesive, then the Bondo fiberglass repair to fill in the small cracks and holes that were left. Finally put the Bondo finishing filler over everything. It goes on smoother than the fiber glass and you can sand it almost to a high sheen with 1500 grit sandpaper. I then spray painted it and lightly sanded with 2000 grit after first coat and put a very light second coat after that. Finished it all with two quick coats of clear coat and used 3000 grit between coats. Very much a novice at autobody repair and completely winged it, but it came out looking perfect. Especial considering it was a pretty extensive crack. Has been holding strong for just about two years now.

Awesome

Epoxy wont stick on that ABS. Itll fall off a few weeks after. The proper way to repair this is using a soldering iron and melting the plastic together or ursing special 2k abs filler/glue (like WURTH replast).

[@speedkar99]

That's a good tip

The epoxy he used is a 2k abs filler/ glue.

Unreal! A project like this at the body shop easily charged $1,500.00 thx a bunch!

[@speedkar99]

+Hadouken Hadouken thanks Of course the body shop is doing it the right way by replacing all the parts instead of repairing them, but this is a quick easy method for you to do yourself at home.

One more coat would have been perfect. It was a little gray in the light at 3:56. Other than that it was perfect.

[@speedkar99]

+JoeCnNd agreed but I had to save some for the fender touch up
