When a bumper cracks or breaks, many owners look for quick fixes—usually “miracle” glues or adhesives. Unfortunately, gluing plastic is not a durable method for parts exposed to vibration and temperature changes.
🧪 What plastic gluing is
Gluing uses a chemical adhesive that acts as a bridge between two surfaces. It may look simple, but in reality, the glue does not penetrate the plastic structure and can detach at the first vibrations.
- it does not withstand mechanical shocks;
- it cannot handle major temperature variations;
- it leaves a visible, fragile seam.
🔥 What plastic welding is
Plastic welding heats the material to its melting point, fusing the edges of the crack and rebuilding the part from the inside. Identical material is used, ensuring:
- excellent structural strength;
- the natural flexibility of the plastic;
- a uniform, clean appearance with no visible marks.
⚙️ The final result
A glued bumper may look fine temporarily, but it will break again at the first minor impact. A professionally welded bumper becomes strong, stable, and visually uniform.
In conclusion, gluing is only a short-term emergency solution.
For a safe and long-lasting repair, the right choice is professional plastic welding.
