filling rear bumper damage

[ringfeder3]

i'm looking at a rear bumper that has had, at some stage, the tailpipe melt a small, semicircular chunk out of the exhaust recess. as the rest of the bar is in good condition, could this be filled and repaired? the damage is about the diameter of a 50 cent coin...

Hi ringfeder,
I have done plastic welding and most of the time it can be repaired. Like everything it comes down to the cost factor.
Depending on the damage a little bog might be needed to level it and then it would have to be repainted.

Try to use bumper bar filler (has a Flexi additive).

would i need to use the same on my sailplane? Or will regular bog be ok?

If it’s rigid use normal bog, if it’s flexible use bar filler

Yeah its not bouncing or flexing like a bumper would. I will just use what i have, which is regular filler. Thanks EYY.
