Hello guys, welcome back to my channel! Today, I have an exciting video for you where I will show you how to easily repair a bumper sticker round. Whether you have minor damage or a cracked bumper, I have the perfect repair methods for you.
If you have a bumper that is pushed in but the paint is not damaged, all you need is a heat gun. Trust me, it’s worth the investment. Heat the area where the damage is located to make the plastic more flexible. This will allow you to shape and push out the bumper easily. Remember to heat it from the inside if possible to avoid damaging the paint.
For more severe damage like scratches or paint damage, you can still use the heat gun method to shape the bumper. Once shaped, you can proceed with a paint repair to restore the bumper’s appearance.
Now, if you have a cracked bumper, there are two effective methods you can use: epoxy or welding. While epoxy can provide a strong bond, welding is preferred for a stronger repair. In this video, I will demonstrate both methods and test their durability to see which one is stronger.
To repair with epoxy, sand the surface, drill holes, and apply a mixture of epoxy and hardener. For welding, use stainless steel mesh to reinforce the crack and weld it into place. Both methods will provide a long-lasting repair for your bumper.
After the repair is done, sand down any high or low spots on the bumper and apply a body filler to fill in any imperfections. Finish off with primer and paint to complete the repair process.
In the final test, we compared the strength of the epoxy and welded repairs. While the epoxy repair broke easily, the welded repair held up well and proved to be a much stronger option.
In conclusion, welding is the preferred method for repairing a cracked bumper due to its durability and strength. However, epoxy can still be a viable option for minor repairs.
