Plastic Welding Bumper Repair

I am preparing my car to be vinyl wrapped and needed to repair my front bumper. I figured I'd show one way of doing this repair with a plastic welding kit. The results were surprisingly good. The mended area seemed to be as strong as the surrounding area. If you have any questions, please let me know. I will demonstrate how to perform the same repair using epoxy in a future video. I have more videos of my car having parts installed & driving on the way, so stay tuned!!

I'm glad I came across this video. Its a fast instruction thk you.

[archad]

Wanted a video of you working on your car for so long. Could not have asked for more!

[simonvance]

This is ironic. 2 weeks ago I decided I want to get a blue WRX or STI, now I’m seeing them everywhere including random diy videos I watch 😂😂 Synchronicity... Thanks for the tips!..

[TheMostAriel]

Nice one! Gotta try this on my Celica.

[jordanbrown]

I love it! I love welding maybe I should get this tool to go along with my hobby for plastic thank you so much

[alikasim]

Hi i solder plastic repair with soldering iron. What filter type should i use that can store the dangerous fumes from going out in the environment?

[jthunders]

Thanks this is just what i needed. F em if they can’t handle why you didn’t finish it perfectly.

[briang]

Planning on wrapping it yourself? Keep up the great work buddy!

[stephngibson]

At my work we use a flexible bondo made for plastic bumpers if you want to use some of that stuff works really great at filling low spots I can get the name of it for you

[robinmoody]

Wish you had explained the prep & process more.

[harrydemetro]

So tbh great job as a person who works on cars there was a few steps you missed you could of used a body filler to smooth it all out and more sanding how ever great job once again

[alexlopez]

Where’d you get that carbon fiber wrap for the little front black piece

[stephngibson]

Learning how to do this while learning body work as an apprentice right now pretty interesting stuff in my opinion

[Sick_Boy.]

Very informative. I know this is an old video but if you’re still active on here, do you think the method would work if I wanted to fuse two different bumpers into one?

[FlossyZach]

What grit sand paper did you use in the beginning bro?

[rcarioca]

yea I was wondering why the sand finish was so bad

[FlossyZach]

Yo man, what’s the black stuff you used for the sealer? I’m going to need some of that stuff to do this project! Thanks

[mastercommanderdragonsir]

I had to hold my breath while watching this aha force of habit I guess

[miaandria]

What do you call that black plastic that uve melted?

[cosmosks]

I've tried everything to repair my front bumper but all the plastic supports are broke soo I think I might just have to cut my losses and buy a new one lol
