Auto body repair & detailing: Urethane bumper repair, lincoln town car, epoxy resin


Question
What adhesive can I use for a fiberglass reinforced patch to the back or a urethane bumper? This is a one time job and I don't want to buy a gun and a dozen mixing nozzles.  This bumper is off of a 95 Lincoln Town Car. Two tears require about one foot of repair. I have the back sanded with 100 sandpaper and "V" groved to accept the repair. I am lead to expect some kind of epoxy or urethane adhesive that matches the flexibility of the urethane bumper. Is flexibility important or could I use an epoxy resin and fiberglass patch to the back for strength and a filler and finish for the front?

Answer
You need somethiung on the back that is flexable like a two part epoxy for flexable parts. you also should put a screen like mat in the epoxy to make it stronger. These can be purchased at a autopaint store.
