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.
Thank you for your support! I hope the recipe I shared will be helpful for your upcoming projects. If you have any other great ideas, please let's me know!

Thank you for the video I like it hope you bring up more videos like this congratulations you did a good job everybody has its own to technique to do the job keep going
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.
Thanks for posting , I use a similar technique myself to fix old vintage bakelite and plastic stylus , I don't use the lead/charcoal , I use a mix of baking soda and super glue to fill space after welding in the mesh or in your case, staples, Great fix bro and good tips.
How can mesh be wire? Ik it’s the internet n everyone’s a smart donkey however I’m dead serious. I think I may be mis led on what mesh material truly is.
@@malachicook5419 It’s metal wire mesh. It comes in a wide variety of grades/sizes. The largest being used as reinforcement under/in concrete slabs the smallest ones used by DIY guys to repair all sorts of things. Used with fillers to repair rusted holes in car bodies etc.
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.
Muitíssimo obrigada, pela dica, gostei muito, vou fazer no meu, que já estava até pensado em trocar, mas depois desse vídeo, já vi que posso recuperar sem medo de ser feliz 🎉
I wonder what the liquid is that he’s using to activate the graphite like that. It’s brilliant. I’m going to use these tactics to fix my bumper. Great video. Thank you.
@@DWG8 I would apply a fiber reinforced epoxy backing for structural support (and to a lesser degree, fill the void.) Then I would apply filler to the outside, sand & paint. Very easy, and pretty quick, aside from waiting for the epoxies to cure.
we used to use a hot knife over a gas stove to heat and melt an eraser over a burst football back in the 70s when i was aboyt 7 years old! i wouldn't say a genious idea but i like the staples as supports
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.
@@MrConsparkalthough it's a graphite /clay mixture. People refer to a pencil as a lead pencil. I never heard anyone say "may I borrow your graphite pencil?"

Yes referred to as stop drilling.
@@mrtopcat2
That crack will continue to grow.
There’s a tool that separates staples much easier than pliers. It’s called a stapler.
yes but i don't have it. thanks for sharing
LoL 😂 You're funny, You're funny not smart have a think what you said.
I thought it was called a fingernail 😜
A stapler can separate staples?
Not patronising at all are we Mr Simpson

Tremendo gracias por compartir este conocimiento ❤
¡Me alegra que te haya resultado útil el conocimiento compartido en el vídeo! Te deseo a ti y a tu familia felicidad.
JB Weld, sand, paint. Done.
yes but where this is, they may not have easy access to epoxies and fillers so they make do
Not all plastics stick or bond with JB Weld, haven't done it with a bumper yet but may work
My thoughts are $ vs time.
To me it'd be cheaper to buy if the item is available. But... excellent job!
Jb weld don’t work In Thailand they make a device and the s type metal to weld plastic apparently this guy never seen before
I think JB Weld is crap
Decvon 2,000 lb expoxy
I bought the tool on Amazon. $25. Thousands of staples and so convenient. Working perfectly.

Great vid, but when you lay the graphite down, what’s in the plastic bottle that you’re dribbling onto the graphite - cyanoacrylate (super glue)?

Baking soda & super glue works great also. I like the use of the staples for added strength.

Que buena idea
is it charcoal or graphite?
Both. He used graphite 1st then on the top piece he went over it with charcoal.
I don't think it matters since both are the same chemical element.
magnifico!!!

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.
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.
Fabuleux !!

JB Weld…hellerrrrrr!
Would jb weld adhesive work on this bumper? I have same issue and I am planning to use jb weld instead.. what do you guys think?
You can use jb weld to repair plastic bumpers, but you should use plastic welding method for more certainty.
These are the kind of skills you pick up in jail. 😅
When you have so much time in your hands and so little things to do!
😂Bodyshop suppy stores all carry plastic weld rod. They have rods for the different plastics

Lead? Lol

Скобы от степлера имеют свойство ржаветь и долго не простоят. Уж если чем и армировать шов, то сеткой из нержавейки.
Но степлер погружен в пластик, а не контактирует напрямую с воздухом, поэтому заржаветь очень сложно.
