There’s a tool that separates staples much easier than pliers. It’s called a stapler.

The very first thing you should have done is drill a hole or make a hole with the soldering iron at the end of the crack in the bumper. That will stop the crack spreading further up the bumper.

I have used the hole drilling method on fixed fiber glass bodies to slow cracks. The problem with drilling a hole is that it is near impossible to judge how far exactly the origins thereof go. Plus in this case drilling isn’t needed to begin with, because everything was ‘closed’ fixed here.

@garretthoward13 5 ай бұрын

I used to do this on a regular basis for an auto auction. I actually fixed a golf ball size hole in a durango bumper but i just used plastic rods to fill cracks and on the hole i used a piece i cut out of a disregarded bumper.

@BlowmoldGuy123 5 ай бұрын

You can achieve as good if not better result by using the pointed tip to weld the plastic together, then covering the area with epoxy. If you want added strength, weld another piece of plastic on the inside. Much faster than all of this, and works better.

Go to your local plumbing store, buy some pvc cement and use that to glue the crack, It's a solvent used to "weld" pvc pipes to each other.

@STEVEHELMING 3 ай бұрын

Pvc works on pvc, not on poly or abs. And you have to prepare surfaces properly (per instructions). Cure repair per instructions to justify the expense of repair.

@KenSwanson-p4i 26 күн бұрын

Thanks, I haven't worked with a "welding" approach, like this. But anyway, my method, of late, is take shipping tape and fiberglass cloth .. apply the tape to the cloth, thus keeping the cloth fibers from sliding, or moving around, making a stable cloth strip .. and then use ample amount of JB weld, to the crack area, and apply this cloth/tape strip over the top, of the adhesive, and the crack. Use some kneading pressure to work the adhesive into glass fibers, and perhaps use some clamping pressure during the entire cure time. After it's set up, .. peel off the tape. The glass adhesive soaked surface should be pretty smooth, and sandable, if you prefer. Most likely this is stronger, than the surrounding area. There is the disadvantage of this having a raised patch appearance, though .. IF that's even important.

As someone who has tried to do this and failed a few times 😂 I like the aluminum tape as well as the modified solder tip. The staples are nice because they’re just a common thing that you’d have on hand. Very nice! The graphite was intriguing though! Was that liquid acetone? And was the purpose for strength or for the finishing with sandpaper?

Pour les personnes qui l'ignorent, il existe des baguettes de plastique qui permettent de souder entre elles des pièces de plastique PVC et ont des tenues assez résistantes, notamment utilisées sur des chemins de câbles en PVC dans des milieux acides où des pièces métalliques se corrodent rapidement, je dois reconnaître qu'il faut réellement prendre le " coup de main " avant de réussir de belles et solides soudures

Very cool, kool, and even kewl ways to deal w/ cracked/broken plastic... I say this as I own a P/U Truck that's from the mid90's which has broken plastic on the dash. It's the plastic that goes around the instruments/gauges, & the air conditioning vents except no one sells the replacement piece that I need. I looked hard back in 2014-16 but found no one making this piece that goes across the whole front of the dash & they've never got one in the junk yards that isn't already broken. All that said, this might just offer me a way to fix it but after that IDKnow if I can do much about the colors b/c part is a fake wood grain type finish but if I can't put it back together I'll be happy enough. Thanks again for this solution. peace

@tobyk5149 2 ай бұрын

after repair, spray paint the entire piece any color you choose. Forget about woodgrain. Paint it pewter or flat black or whatever color would look good

Thanks Toby, I've been looking at this & I hope I can fix the broken grill of my dash? I'm not too sure how the grill is held in place but I do believe the plastic can be repaired. I'm going to look one more time to try to buy some & then I need to just break down and do it. As for paint, this grill looks like a burled walnut w/ silver chrome looking edging. What ever I do I've got to look at the doors & dash as well because all of it needs to match. I feel certain there are products I can paint over the surfaces with that'll allow paints but I'll only need to look at them. Things have come a long way. I saw someone who painted the inside of his car & it looked like crap but I believe if repairs are made, then a specialized coating is put on for Pre-Paint type surface products, then paint should adhere to it? Thanks for posting, I've been hoping someone might mention something & if I knew anyone I'd offer them to do the work but I'm getting closer to just doing it. thanks again, peace
