Standard Operating Procedures for Structural Repair

Identify

1. If the bumper is damaged (broken, holes or cracks) then a structural repair is necessary.

Prepare

2. Tape damage area front and rear.

 

3. Clean with Fusor® 703, wipe dry and remove tape.

 

4. Taper front, then sand front and back with 80 grit sandpaper and blow clean.

 

5. Apply Fusor 602EZ to front and back and allow to flash for 10 minutes.

 

6. Tape off the front side of the damaged area to prevent adhesive from coming through from the back side.

Apply

7. Select adhesive based on repair size and/or temperature (132/133, 142/143, 152). Refer to product user instruction sheet, Fusor bead board or visit Fusor.com for work times.

 

8. Level plungers, attach mixer and dispense a mixer length of adhesive.

 

9. Apply Fusor Bumper Repair adhesive to back side first using Fusor 700 reinforcement mesh.

 

10. Flip bumper over and remove masking tape from repair area.

 

11. Apply additional adhesive to front side and spread evenly.

 

 

Tech Tips:

 

  • If using super fast adhesives, you may need to attach a new mixing tip after applying adhesive to the back side.
  • For larger repairs, it may be easier to allow the backside repair to cure before flipping the bumper over. 

Finish

12. Sand the front side with 80/180/240 grit sandpaper (or per your paint manufactures recommendation) when selected adhesive reaches specified sand time.

 

13. Prime and paint per paint manufacturer’s recommendations.

 

 

Tech Tip:

 

  • Use Fusor 114LG finishing adhesive if necessary. When using the spreader to smooth the adhesive, draw the product down tight to the surface to prevent any imperfections as it cures.
