I love the creative use of foil tape. But you've made a simple job complex, and much less resilient. Why less resilient? What you're doing is a repair using polystyrene and epoxy. Both are much more brittle than the PP (polypropylene) bumper, so any impact there is far more likely to cause a failure. Why not just fill the crack with some melted PP? (Usually the bumper will even have spare tabs somewhere ;) ) Much easier and guaranteed compatible.

[@GausDIY]

Thank you for your enthusiastic contribution, I will try it with molten pp plastic. I'm actually testing a lot of different materials, after a long time seeing which material is the most suitable.

Fiberglass/ resin would be a better option

[@carlosrivas3837]

Roger that, I was thinking JB Weld. But your idea makes sense

[@BryanClark-gk6ie]

Seems/ Norton/3M and a few other companies make 2 part exposies specialized for different types of plastics/ rubber/ metals and fiberglass is what we use today. Fiberglass resin will not properly adhere to some plastics and rubbers' basically will peel off.

[@mattcampbell4777]

Thats what I was thinking...Bondo is a lot easier and quicker.

[@chrissewell1608]

This is the same, but different! And its uses the same melted plastic, that the body is made of.

[@kukipett]

No, resin will not stick to the plastic correctly .

[@JackMacCabe]

Works good for those who can't afford to have repairs done, nothing wrong with that 😊

[@Johnny53kgb-nsa]

Good repair job. If anybody else has a better method, let's see it. Thanks!

[@matthewcummings6952]

I feel like fibreglass would be a better way to go than baking soda?

[@ericlee9146]

Bondo lol easy

[@PrototypPaint]

Bondo, Plastik welding, Fiberglass etc. this was painfull to watch

[@johndarbyshire6020]

Many better methods Avoid superglue its dangerous

[@sajidrafique375]

Bondo is easy

[@andrewbender8879]

The mesh melted into the plastic was a great idea. After that, I'll just use Bondo. Especially since it's just a 2 part plastic resin with easy mixing steps.

[@rumenivanovtzonchev4072]

¿Qué es el teorema de Pitágoras?

[@keylortamayo7192]

@@GausDIY Jajaja, Bueno, Pitágoras, fue filósofo y matemático Griego, que hizo muchos aportes a la aritmética y la geometría, entre ellos el teorema de Pitágoras que dice:"La suma de los cuadrados de las longitudes de sus catetos,es igual al cuadrado de la longitud de su hipotenusa"🤔 jajaja,yo tampoco entiendo nada, pero el lo dijo 🤣,no te va servir para nada en la vida, así que ni te preocupes,lo que no cabe dudas es que este Pitágoras tenía tiempo libre en cantidad,no tenía,na que hacer, este en nuestro tiempo no hubiera descubierto nada jajaja,un saludo GausDIY, espero haber respondido tu pregunta,un placer 👍

[@brianmccafferty1470]

Nice job! Good paint match.

[@GausDIY]

Thank you, I'm glad the video was helpful

[@user-st8tx3xc1u]

I know an easier way. Step 1 put painting tape on the front. Step 2 use puddy clay to fill in the hole from the back then wait for it to dry. Step 3 remove the tape from the front and sand it down. Step 4 spray paint the front and done. Hole is fixed!!!! Think smarter not harder.. lol

[@turi4416]

P

[@emanuelusa63]

I like your way as well, but this guy couldn't make a video 😂

[@ScootaWatson]

No he added the wire to the back to give that hole sum stability it's not a must do but it give that plastic hole more anchor & makes the plastic more enforced then it'll ever need.... Kinda of how construction sites use steel bars to reinforce concrete 👌🏽

[@RededicateYrLife]

I was saying the same thing

[@5anctvm97]

But clay becomes brittle when dried.

[@DP1959dbp]

Well done the final result looked amazing

[@johndarbyshire6020]

Well it took him long enough I see he does have some (yellow) filler, so what was the superglue for exactly? I think these videos are made by superglue manufacturers

Professional plastic welders (bike fairings,bumpers etc) know that they have to use the SAME material to weld them; so,they have an enormous variety of plastic rods for each job; and they charge a lot for those jobs too..; By law,mostly in Europe,USA, and others, it is mandatory to have stamped on EVERY plastic piece,its material; all you do is to look for the stamped(molded!) 2 or 3 letters; Best way is to cut and use a piece of the same plastic you are welding, from a place that stays hidden.

[@GausDIY]

Always good to see new & different techniques.... I found it curious that the acetone melted the styrofoam, but didn't melt the plastic cup it was poured into.

Acetone will melt through the plastic cup as well. The red solo type cups take a good 3-5 minutes and you will.see the cup start the bend and shrink

[@iva4856]

Probably still "not many people know" because the description of the materials you are using is not very clear.

[@GausDIY]

I have a description in the subtitle

[@redpost2380]

It is a solution but way too messy and complicated. If you have the epoxy apply it with steel wool or the mesh to cover the hole. Sand down and reapply the resin for a fine finish.

[@GausDIY]

Thank you very much, I will try it

[@nognogbalogachannel362]

[@dermbishop9344]

What is the yellow stuff that you used?

[@GausDIY]

It is hardener

[@paulajohnston2990]

​@@GausDIY Great. You're a lot of help. Show a How-to video and leave off the name of the Most important chemical. 🙄

[@tfs1150]

Also, any 2 part adhesives should be mixed on a separate surface and then applied. The problem with your technique is you have sandwiched un-mixed hardening agent and unmixed resin of whatever glue you used under the hardened glue. This will cause the repair to bubble up over time. Overall you have used a very poor technique with poor materials that is guaranteed to fail.
