Catteeclan Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago I've always used glues on bumper repairs which can be hit and miss. I've been looking at this myself as well as the heated wire which is great for getting some strength back in. Watching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've repaired a fist size hole in one of my son's car bumper...using these wire clips melted in... What about showing us what your dealing with...your self proclaimed in house mechanical engineer could possibly give you some pointers.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckster Posted 5 hours ago Author Share Posted 5 hours ago I have a good hot air gun used for soldering SMD’s so I’m thinking of using that with some abs rods. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea how good they are though The additive kits seem to be a soldering iron with a tube to feed the plastic through, I was thinking of doing something similar to when I weld aluminium, put some sort of backing plate in then do an additive weld. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
