My front bumper top pad is pretty much a loss so thought I would try an idea for a fix that was floating around in my head. I have used this stuff on my boat and thought it had possibilities. It is super sticky adhesive, comes in black, and available at home depot maybe. If not I got this from Grainger.

5200 takes a week to cure fully, no problem there. It is incredibly tenacious once set, and wood will tear/separate before the joint when cured. Awesome stuff, plan on using the tube completely within a few days otherwise it's toast. As any urethane, it cures in the presence of moisture, and just loves sticking to your hands for a few days. Ain't gonna get near the wife like that. Use gloves.
I also used sandpaper on my front bumper top as it had something on it that wouldn't respond to any thinner or solvent. Started with 150 and worked my way up to 320. I'd go to 400. Followed that up with 3M 303. Nice ingenuity. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |
