    What "Filler" can be used to fill a crack in bumper?

    My bumper came with a crack in it where the oblong hole is on the near side.
    Id like to fill it and sand it as you would with a hole in a wall but i dont suppose polyfilla is the right choice lol..
    What is generally used to fill holes/cracks in bumpers?
    Cheers

    it depends on damage so cant really tell without a picture, but for a proper repair as it will be week in that area it will need bracing for strength, various ways, but drilling holes either side of the cracks and then roughing up inside of bumper for a good key, then fibreglass it from inside. Then filler from outside

    or plastic patch it from inside, plastic weld.

    You can just filler over top and smoth and paint, but if the cracks are deep and flex your repair will come back, loads on youtube aswell

    any products similar to these will be fine like body filler/p38

    you could also try pop reverting something underneath for strength then grind down the reverts later and fill ontop

    depending on how bad the crack or hole its self is?
