    Default Glue for auto body plastic?

    Is there any super strong glue that we can use for plastic bumpers on any cars... I want to do some temporary repair... it cracked at non stress point... bottom of the bumper on a Mercedes.

    fiberglass to hard? there is a ton of softer flexible epoxies out there that might work.

    Mercedes bumper is not hard like fiberglass that we have on E34. Yes, I am thinking of the bumper epoxy... The bumper split at the lower bumper area but if glued... it would be good enough. No chunk missing or broken.

    Gonna try Pep Boys for epoxy.

    Looks good.

    Done something like this for the 525, when it got attacked by a srcunt driving a SUV.

    I used epoxy and chopped fiberglass, only thing different was I drilled holes along the repair to create a mechanical bond that would hold up to impact a little better.

    I did the same with my bumper, epoxy and fiberglass, looks as good as new and works since 2 years.
