3MSuper Fast Plastic Repair, 04247, Tranlucent Color, Ready-To-Use, Two-Part Epoxy Finishing Adhesive, 200 mL/6.75 fl oz Cartridge

Every single time when I park my Honda Accord at one of those cement parking poles, when backing up it pulls the front of my car and the Little tabs separate. After getting a $1500 estimate for auto repair I was able to locate this great idea and it works beautifully!! The bond strength is unbelievable! This is a must have product and you also must be very careful using it. Just follow the instructions and it is very easy.

Must have material

This stuff is amazing, used it to fix missing/broken tabs on a bumper cover. It dries super fast so make sure you have everything ready to go. If you have more than one repair to do try to prep so you can do all the work with using only one nozzle or you will go through them like crazy. I just used slightly more than needed to fill the needs and sanded down to size a couple of minutes later.

aside for all the other reviews, fast setting and no application gun, and extra swirl sticks..this epoxy DOES not dry SOLID.. is pliable... so for my application this stuff doesn't work..I mixed up 6 small batches,yes they dry fast,yes you can sand it (I waited 30 mins)does it set hard after 1 hour NOdoes it set hard after 2 hours NO

This epoxy will cure in under 30 seconds so have everything ready for its application. Another thing of which to be aware is that it is supposed to be used with a special twin plunger applicator. I don’t have one so I was able to push the bores out manually with my thumb to get two even beads of material and then I mixed them together with a screwdriver prior to application. It will fill a gap and appears to be pretty solid once it’s cured.

We use this in our Body shop. It works and holds great. Its expensive, but all plastic repair products are.Here is a few things that are important to know:-It sets up fast; like super super fast. 10 seconds in hot weather. After that, its unusable. On hot days here (87-95 degrees) it sets up before it reaches the end of the mixing tube and cannot be used.-The mixing tube is handy if you want to apply the glue directly in a bead to your repair. HOWEVER, it wastes product, lots of it. My suggestion is to use a piece of cardboard or a mixing plate and squirt the two parts onto that and manually apply the adhesive to the repair. This stuff is way too expensive to waste an entire mixing tip full of product every time you use it. Use very small portions and then remix more if needed; plus layers are good.-Did I mention it dries very fast? Yeah please remember this...have your repair ready when you start mixing.-It dries hard. Hard hard. Dont expect it to act like body filler, because you wont be sanding this stuff down. Its as hard as concrete when done.-Use an adhesion promoter. Just do it. 3m sells adhesion promoter, and it makes this stuff work even better. You cannot clean up and sand your surfaces enough to make this work to the best of its ability, you just cant. You only get one chance to do it right. Buy the adhesion promoter and do it the right way.

2/2/17 Edit: Still using this stuff and will always have on hand. Have had to repair a few different plastic items as well as "fill=in" a pool cover motor. Stuff is great!Bought to fix bumper tab that broke off and I needed to remold my own. Worked great! Bought spare mixing tabs since it doesn't take much of this to get a project done. Would buy again.
