Cracked front bumper help please

[Stee-Bo]

so my friend was taking my car up the driveway, the bumper got caught and cracked.

the crack is about 10 inches long, but its a really clean crack youc an barely tell it even cracked, in the mean time i need suggestions for a type of "glue" to help hold together my bumper, and prevent the crack from becoming more severe until i can get a whole new front end. suggestions please

Duct tape the inside of the bumper.

No vlad.


Gorilla glue the inside of it. Let it sit for about 2 hrs. It will be like it never happened.

Yes Kyle.

I just cracked the ish out of my bumper last night after I lowered it another 1/4". Mine is pretty beat up already tho so I just zip stiched it.

Something like this, or JB-weld, etc.

Being in PA(dealing with winter weather), you will probably want the strongest option, so JB weld is probably going to be your best bet.

bumper repair epoxy. use it correctly and you wont even need to buy a new bumper. 3m makes some that you can find at auto parts stores. lord fusor makes better stuff but it costs a whole lot more

Stick to a glue that remains somewhat flexible. JB Weld becomes way too hard and any other hit it'll cause it to crack again in another place if its in an area that sees flex everytime when you go up/down ramps or driveways.

If it was my bumper, i'd sand it from the inside a bit to roughen it up, place a few layers of fiberglass cloth for support covering both sides of the crach, followed by covering the entire fb cloth with your preferred choice of glue.

A rough idea, though you'd only be doing it from the inside...

^so is the metal mesh that comes with repair epoxy the same as fiberglass cloth?
