How to repair a crack on my bumper?
I hit a dog and my front bumper has a tear that needs to be mended back together then filled. What is the bumper made out of? What materials should I use to mend it and fill the crack? Just bondo? Thanks!!!

Im assuming youve done autobody befor. If Yes...
Get 3M plastic repair.

If not Have a shop do it

Bondo will not work, it will crack and crumble off the first time the wind blows on the bumper.

Just reread it and realized the sarcasm.

Anyways find 3M plastic repair, it is basically a rubberish repair that bends a lot.

Any chain stores that carry it? I checked auto zone and they just have Bondo plastic mending kits for $15. I trust 3M a bit more.

I only know of it from shop, not sure where we get it, but we get pretty much everything from autobody supply stores.
