I think you are talking about the SEM Urethane kit.

Its really not all that complicated to use, mixes like bondo.

ok fusor sucks!!!
use duramix or 3m much better products
and use the right plastic material by those companies to mold anything in
plastic welding also works good if ya know what your doin with it
never use bondo or f/b on plastic it will not last and does not stick

can i haz bondo

I just picked up some Urethane Caulk stuff from a boat store today. It bonds to urethane and plastic, it's able to flex, and can be sanded and painted. Im molding the ls sport rear lip on to my bumper and im going to start sanding when it gets hard, I will let you know how it turns out.
