As you probably know already, body filler and common glues / adhesives
will not work well on plastic bumpers. 3M has an epoxy intended for use
on polyethylene, polypropylene (which Honda uses in their bumpers) and
other low surface tension plastics. It is in the Scotch-Weld family, and
the part number is DP8005. Hardware stores do not carry it but
industrial supply companies do. I bought it from R. S. Hughes, and they
have locations all over the US. See http://rshughes.com/locationfinder/

When you buy it, also get the gun and a couple of mixing nozzles. The
glue is intended for bonding parts together, but you can also use it to
fill shallow dings and scratches.

Or you could go to http://www.hondaautobodypartstore.com and get a new,
after-market bumper. They are cheap.

Well I guess then it seems cheaper and easier to go for the bumper kit
availabe on asseenontv.com

http://www.asseenontv.com/prod-pages...id=ELECTRONICS

Rather than buying the Scotch-Weld which seems expensive along with the
other stuff u need to fix the dents/gouges in the bumper. Anybody any
experience using this kit ?

Thanks Dave and Randolph for inputs.
