Thanks for sharing.

Really nice tutorial!
Hi there! Thanks for your positive comments. We're glad to hear this informative video was helpful to you.
Nice repair and good video, but its a lot more tedious, expensive, and time consuming than just plastic welding. With a plastic weld there is no masking, adhesion promoter, $$$ adhesive, mixing tips, sanding, masking, or waiting for anything to cure. A set of 6146 Bumper Pliers, the Pin Die, and a plast welder, the whole repair (start to finish) would be about 5 minutes and cost about 50 cents. Most of that time would be prep, which is similar. Another bonus of welding is that you can do a one sided repair. Look how many time he flipped that piece of bumper over, to prep and finish the backside. When working on a whole bumper, you'd be working at weird angles or would have to flip it over several times. Adhesives are not the optimal repair for this damage.
Agree, I guess they are just trying to show examples, but they should have mentioned that there are alternatives like plastic welding that might be more cost and time effective. That being said, can you plastic weld TEO/TPO/Olefin plastics? I am assuming that's probably what he has in the video and the areas where it sanded into the plastic look a lot of TEO/TPO. I think most body shops just automatically throw away anything TEO/TPO and just replace with new since it requires adhesion promoters and is difficult to work with.
I appreciate you mentioning the plastic weld. Is it gonna be as solid ?
It’s good to have options
Heads up guys, all you need is the one product - plastic repair and some plastic (used butter tub or something)
the drilled holes is a good idea.
Seems like a video to fix parts in a lab. All these unnecessary steps to use products. got bored moved on.
