Molding Urethane lip to Fiberglass bumper...??
Friday, August 04, 2006 11:40 AM
Is it even possible to do a good job of molding urethane to fiberglass>> I have a fiberglass rear bumper, but want to change it a bit, cause it sits too high. I also have a urethane rear skirt designed for my car to mold to the "stock" bumper. It will fit over the fiberglass bumper just fine, but can I bond the two and mold it smooth without it later craking apart??

Anyone in Arizona that could help me with this??

It wont work out very well..

The first time you scrape it on something or someone bumps into it the urethane will start to crack.

My boyfriend was going to do something like this to his pt cruiser he had, but Ray at Pteazer said not to bother because it would crack real easy.

I love when people say fiberglass wont mould to urethane........this is my rear bumper it is a factory gt bumper with a fiberglass lip also sideskirts are fiberglass moulded to factory GT sides use 3M Bonding agents I have rubbed my rear bumper off the ground about 100 times never cracked and for those who say im lieing i have also been rear ended twice with this combination when it was red






also drove one full winter with it this shot was taken in march I live 3 hrs north of toronto so if there was a test to be held this has withstood it

hate to change the topic, but my question is somewhat similar ( i think ). what about molding/welding urethane to urethane? i.e. taking a section from one bumper and meshing it to another. doable?

i personally would make a mould of the lip in fiberglass then add it on. moulding the two together can work but for most people it doesnt.


ive heard a few stories of people skydiving, not having their shoot open and they hit the ground and somehow lived. that doesnt mean i'd jump out of an airplane without a parachute.
