Default Fix my bumper?

It will almost certainly be some sort of polyetheline or

#660 dynaweld. Works reasonably well - but NOT cheap at $81 US from
Napa.


Polyethylene and polypropylene both have a waxy feel and are very
difficult to bond. I've never tried it but supposedly the Loctite
product does work.

The usual technique has been plastic welding. 'White' Gorilla Glue, not
the woodworking type, is polyurethane and should work. You need to clamp
the backing material tightly since the glue foams as it sets.
