fixing cracks in tom's lip Options

[freddy121389]

I recently bought a toms lip with the intention of fixing up the cracks in it, theres 2-3 2inch cracks going through it, 2 of which are going through it almost and 2 is just barely going through it. I need some ways to fix these since I'm fairly new to this. Would bondo work well or would I have to plastic weld it? I don't have a plastic welder but if that's what I have to do than I guess I have no choice.

I believe to do it properly you need that plastic weld stuff. You could possibly fiberglass the back part of it, to reinforce the areas where it's cracked, and then fill in the front w/bondo and sand it smooth, then prime, paint, etc. However I know the bondo option isn't the proper way to do it, and there's no guarantee really how long that'll last. Some of the body guys should chime in on this, they'll know best.

absolutely rght don't use bondo it will not flex an will crack almost instantly the wy to do this is to use fiberglass resine an matting fiberglass from behind on the under side of the lip with matting an resine can u post a pic of the damage so I can tell u for sure allow to fill in the cracks and add four layers of matting behind it later after resine hardens sand from the front till its flush then if you want apply a thin layer of bondo filler and sand smooth if you have any questions let me know I can provide some picts

I actually used a urethane resin that did an amazing job for the back side and then used bondo spot putty for the front just a tiny bit, still need to sand and prep, then ill take it to maaco to get painted.
