Thread #30701
I remember seeing someone do this with 2 LS bumpers but can't find the thread. What's needed to mend 2 plastic bumpers together?
I know someone did it....but we've used Panel Bond with success to mold plastic to plastic....and plastic to fiberglass.
Thank you! I'll do some research on those products. Did you still use bondo as a finisher/ to get a smoother finish?
3m Duramix is what we've used. Works really good.
valvoline plio-grip line. the panel 35 and finishing cream combo works amazing for this
Research 'plastic welding' as well.
I used this sure seal thing. Its kinda like JB weld lol but it worked for me [IMG]http://i838.photobucket.com/albums/zz305/Gee702/FFD3D529-3127-481D-8F9C-FF73B242FFB0-15680-000007CC8385EAE5.jpg[/IMG]

[QUOTE=actolex;466137]I know someone did it....but we've used Panel Bond with success to mold plastic to plastic....and plastic to fiberglass.[/QUOTE] If youre talking about 3M, the stuff is "8115 panel bonding adhesive". Works great for repairing plastic too because you can sand it just like bondo.
im confused too basiclly are we just glue them together ?
I have done a whole car in plastic and fibre glass i have glass and plastic bumpers and plastic and glass fenders on my fiero lots of pics... [url]http://www.wedriveexcitement.com[/url] and will be applying my skills to my lexus when i add fenders and custom bars [URL]http://www.passionatepursuitofperfection.com/[/URL] Best to actually nut and bolt together what you can first and fibre glass it together if other half is fibre glass or plastic weld if all plastic. Then you need a flexible filler bondo and take out as much of the flex of the panels by reinforcing them.
DIY on two bumpers getting merged together, the second one is the LS bumper I think you are referring to. [URL]http://www.flawlessfitment.com/2012/02/gs-with-ls460-bumper-exhaust-tips.html[/URL] [URL]http://www.flawlessfitment.com/2011/11/merging-two-bumpers-together.html[/URL]
