Trouble driving, as a rule, befalls almost every motorist, including the owner of the VAZ. There are frequent cases of damage to the bumper, which, fortunately, can be repaired by yourself, by gluing. Therefore, if it is damaged, you do not need to rush to the store and buy a new one.
Necessary
- - polyester resin;
- - epoxy adhesive.
Instructions
Step 1
Before you start gluing a bumper to a VAZ, determine what material it is made of, since the technology of its repair will depend on this. To do this, look at the markings on the inner surface of the bumper.
Step 2
Further, the bumper disconnected from the car, clean it well from dirt and carefully inspect it for cracks or breakdowns. A small crack, not sealed in time, can bring a lot of trouble in the future, so take into account any breakdown. If your bumper is polypropylene, then solder small cracks with a soldering iron, and if the bumper material is polyurethane, then a soldering iron will be unacceptable.
Step 3
Glue the polyurethane bumper using epoxy glue. This polymer adhesive will repair various damages while saving you money. Before gluing in the damaged area, smooth out all irregularities by warming up the bumper from the inside. Next, fit the adjacent sides of the bumper well to each other by stripping them.
Step 4
Degrease the cleaned parts with a special solvent. After that, stir the epoxy glue in a certain proportion with polyester resin and start spreading it on the inside of the bumper. As soon as the adhesive is covered with the plastic wrap, flip the bumper over and do the external bonding. The completely dried glue can be cleaned, but in this case, the cleaned surface will need to be painted, since the damaged film easily allows moisture to pass through, and this will have a very negative effect on the structure of the adhesive.
Step 5
After the bumper is restored, make a complete redecoration so that the glued cracks are as less noticeable as possible.
