I assume thats what it its called. Fixing a cracked up svt bumper for my car. I plan on buying 3m two stage stuff to do it right. Or take opinions on cheaper stuff. The guys at the auto place I'm getting it from are sometimes knowledgeable. Sometimes.

looks good so far! if you have trouble getting it to stay try rougher sand paper, and/or cutting a deeper V notch along the cracks for the structural adhesive to bond to.

A call to screaming4snow would also give you some great insight, as i might be out of date on my info. (been out of the body shop game for about 8 years now)
