How strong is this repair? If someone accidentally kicks the bumper in that spot with a medium force or if you happen to bottom them out on a small section of road for a quick second, will it snap? I’m needing to repair my side skirt on my MK1 focus RS and I am gonna need to do it this way because the plastic code is PUR.
If don’t correctly (like I show in the video) then it is as strong as the original bumper, if not stronger. However if you hit it again with enough force then of course it will break, just let any other section on the PUR part
hiya, PUR will almost always be this white/yellow colour and if you try to hot weld or hot staple it, it’ll just fizzle away. If you can take the part off then it’s easy because every plastic component will normally have a stamped identification of what plastic it is made of on it 👍
I've got a early 1983 Audi Quattro that has a cracked airdam, looks to be polyurethane but the material is a black color, believe it's the same material as used in Porsche 944 fonrt air dam black color, need to know if I can use a repair glue or the technique you just used? I'm assuming polyurethane can be black color also?
Hi, I have seen black pur but majority of the times it yellow. There should be a plastic identification stamp on it. Have a look for that, if you can’t see it then do a test weld or if you want to cold/chemical weld it then just read the data sheet to check it’ll work on all plastics
@@damageundoneltd no plastic type identification on the back side, has some date codes but that’s it. Most early 70-80’s semi flexible plastics are polyurethane, and I’m not surprised that Mercedes you show in the video is using this process still. I purchased this kit to repair the damaged cracked air dam, but I contacted the mfg asked if the product would work they answered yes, Vicrez vzr101 Auto Body Plastic Bumper Repair Kit. Going to scuff up a spot on the backside of the air dam today and attempt a surface adhesion test before grinding back the cracks and attempting the repairs, wish me luck!
First time on YT I see someone that properly repair PUR elements, using proper methods and materials. Good job
Thank you for the kudos
I try my best 👍👍
Great repair!

Your videos are addictive to watch, thank you so much. How would you find what type of plastic a bumper is?
