For the back side I use thin sheet metal. I punch a bunch of tiny holes in the metal and heat the metal with a torch and press it onto the plastic over the crack or whatever I'm fixing. The plastic seeps through the holes in the metal, then I quickly cool with water. It makes a great bond. Its really quick and easy.

Using urethane sealer as bondo - why didn't I think about it! Thank you, 3M!

By the time I add up the parts, adhesion promoter, flexible part repair kit and the rear side patch, I could buy an undamaged bumper from an auto recycler. Do you offer a kit for one-off repairs?

This is great. The adhesion promoter and the epoxy would be great for making a partial flexible shell around my old plastic motorcycle gas tank

Manufacturer promo videos really ought to be in HD - no excuse for 240p these days.

Hint. If you don't have a "pearl" (requiring a mixing step and nozzle set up 15 minutes) . It is just clear coated after paint. No biggy.Single panels are easily colour matched. Spraying is the last step of several preparation steps all of which you can do on the driveway. You'll do a lot of wet sanding and eyeballing in natural light, and with flashlights at night. Your final finish is in the prep work, and you only need a water hose, time (sanding/filling materials). It's not magic. You'll be happier and richer if you prep it yourself. Make sure it's wiped off well with methyl just before entering the painting booth to get your finger prints off.

thank you . that old vidio did help me to repair my scooter plastique

does 3M make a product that would seal up cracks in my motorcycle gas tank? they're hairline cracks..and it's a 2 cycle, so there will be oil in the gas...I know I know..the smart thing to do would be replace the tank..but a new one costs about 450.00 bucks..and I cant find a used one.. thanks

Did u use 3m adhesive after sanding (on the back side )

Will this work for reparing my moped seat where it bolts onto the front?

*Make VHS great again*

@DoriFord 3M EZ Sand Flexible Parts Repair, PN 05887. It is a 200mL Cartridge

Can this material be used to create an entire part? I'm looking for ways to build custom motorcycle fairings and i'm looking at Urethane materials because it remains semi-flexible. Often the subframe is bent and rarely fixed accurately. That's why I need the material to be semi-flexible and accepting of reinforceing material like fiberglass mat. If

cant you guys make a ''acid etching 2part plastic like bondo'' so we only have to buy and apply one thing .. that would be great.. thanks

@7Trident3 Then what do you do with your old bumper, throw it out? How is that possibly greener?

exelente todo 3m automotriz...estamos escasos de estos productos en venezuela,necesitamos estos productos

This video outlines the 3M Plastic Repair process, and specifies each product (by part number). These products are available at most Automotive Paint Jobbers. Could you elaborate on what (more) you'd like to know?

3M makes some awesome stuff.

thanks for video

@3MAutoBodyRepair what product is he using at 0:57?

@fatguythatcamps A front bumper for a 2010 Mercury Milan costs $550 a costly replacement.

3m rocks!

The rear platic window in my mazda miata has a 2" crack ...can i fix this and how ?

Thanks...

@Roneekz and some cars you can never find a 50 dollar bumper for.

Le paso corriente?

Cool 😎

Is it possible to repair airbag cover using this method.

3M is the Best

would have been a nice video if it was not stuck in FAST FORWARD!!!

Yea, I don't like the idea of a patch. It's something you'll always know is on the backside.

hot patch it inside and use tire repair glue on other side

seriously, the Benny Hill theme would have been a better choice of music.

I used part number 05987 accidentally due to computer error and my bumper appears to have grown a mouse with a human ear on it's back. The mouse is nocturnal, has to eat six times a day, and hears everything we're saying. It's demanding things and pointing out failures of our species constantly. Work has become nine hours of awkward silence interrupted by berating and demands for quiet, food, water and freedom. Watch those part numbers! My cousin ended up with an F-15 sprouting out of a Yugo, in a similar incident. That repair cost 22 million dollars, and the customer refused to pay.

Yay dad!!!!

absolutely not was a reply for the air bag cover, didn't link to it.

Go to junk yard, buy used bumper. Save time and money. Much greener.

Lot of work to repair a $200 bumper cover?

vire good nice

Just buy a new bumper,cheaper to do than fix them.All you have to do is prep it,prime it,paint it and clear coat it.Finally install it.Most insurance companies put a new bumper on the estimate if covered by insurance

sigh... if only i had the tools

3m

Good grief, no wonder these cars today get totaled out so fast.

lmao!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA

Why does that look like Mario🤔

29.00 dollar pick n pull bumper. just take bolts out and voila!!

just dont dish out silly money to 3m when you can do a perfect repair with a soldering iron or plumbers abs cement solvent

Cool 3m guy is he one of Elon musk’s robots 💪🤡☝️

3m = money down the drain

absolutely not

By the time you pay this guy for his time and materials, it would be almost as much as a new bumper. Poor choice.

these are rubbish. wasted a fortune and its too much of a soft repair. have to purchase the stupid 3m caulking gun.. stick to the old fibreglass its cheaper and stronger
