Bumper Repair with Hot Air Plastic Welder

Why clean the surface if you're just going to sand it off anyway?

fredrik reinfeldt är en idiot

And all this work had to be done most likely because someone wasn't paying attention while they were driving ...

Why would you clean the plastic before sanding the plastic? That makes no sense at all!

Turn up the fucken music - i can still hear U talking - idiot!!

its super

Looks like all those materials cost more than a used bumper?

There is a much simpler approach then this method.

From the money for the tools and the 4 hours of work, plus the painting costs. It's cheaper to buy a used bumper in the same color.

Did he really have to and the entire bumper or could u blend it in

Hey, I’m trying to customize a stock seat pan. It is a black plastics. I need to add some plastic to it to get the desired shape to the fender that I want. Then cover it with my leather. What do you suggest to use. I thought about using heat and plastic weld the same type of plastic and metal mesh to keep its shape so it matches and I can use staple gun with the leather. I have not tried this yet. There is fiberglass, but I don’t know how well fiberglass and this type of plastic play together. The other option is shaping a piece of wood to the desired shape. It will be easy to shape and I will be able to staple the leather to it. However, even though it will be hidden and covered by leather, I will know that it is there. I have pictures. I’m open to any suggestions because I don’t want to mess this up. I only have one.

Aluminum body tape sure does look exactly like foil duct tape.

Rock on brohan!!

What a waste of time and money. Id just use those melting metal clips that asian guy uses in his videos.

is this methode only good for TPO plastic ?

It's easy to see you've never done this before. At the beginning of your video you decided the clean the plastic. That made no sense because the next step was to grind off the paint. Guess what? The surface was contaminated again. Are you kidding me??
They were correct, you can't fix stupid !!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

what i learned from this video , just buy a new bumper 😓

No need to touch the outside of the bumper at all,connect outer so its flush and weld the inside ,no need for tape inside

thankyou ❤

Thanks for the tips from your video. I'm currently trying to repair my motorcycle fairing. Both rearside plugs that plug into rubber grommets are broken and missing. I've got the gun and bits. I'm reshaping and building a couple of cheap toothbrushes to hopefully weld onto the fairing at the right depth and angle. Whether that works or not time will tell.

Seems most costlier and time consuming then purchasing new parts....

Hi, very nice video, what it's the method tu repair polyurethane bumpers?

Plastic joint business

I would try it to synthwave instead of metal

Good job 👍🤓

goodwork sir, godbless

Super glue and baking soda. Thank me later 👍

You should of did it from the back

Useless

Все супер, но зачем обезжиривать и сразу наждачка? Пластик не впиьует жир, можно просто наждачка и все!)

So a heat gun with a narrow tip is called a welder.. ok sure.

Terrible music.

Just buy a new bumper some only cost 60 bucks some around a hundred bucks lol 😂. This is America, in third world country this is feasible. In America your shop is better off spending time on something else more lucrative. Most shop even buy a whole new section from a junkyard instead of straightening a dent to cut down labor time, and back job from imperfection. This would be good for a DIY though just for fun. I have rods from a regular plastic welder and hot air machine I use for surface mount board work. This is something that would be fun to do if the need arises

I think the cost of the repair will be equal to a new bumper.

It took me lot of trying to learn to do it correctly . I need this for a DIY custom bumper i made . I used for melting rods pieces from the old bumper after i cleaned them because they matched the same plastic . Great video helped me a lot

Random but what song is this ?😂

We have fevi quick 😂

Would have loved to watch the whole vid.. but that head banging music was too much to bear..

A zip tie & a cigarette lighter works just as well 👍

I bought one of these and could not for the life of me, figure out how to use it. Returned it the same day.

This video explains alot. Lol.

Thanks for sharing but please change the music

you need to clean the plastic and then you go ahead and sand the area. Why waste cleaning material??

Let me get this straight, get the rod hot to achieve maximum penetration😜.

Why do so many automotive sites use a stupid heavy metal soundtrack? It really detracts from the message.

So much prep and finish work for a little crack.

Lol.

Why not just use a glue gun ?

He said " rod penetration " huh huh huh huh..
