I was just using water inbetween, but then I read this post and used some Dx103, I assume it is the same almost as IPA? If not advise please.
At any rate, after I wiped, it took away some shine and releaved some stray swirls, after the swirl remover I just picked up, it looks good under light, but need to see it in the sun tomorrow.
I needed a gun holder to store away my guns and the price of a real gun holder was $40 plus and really wouldn’t work for me. Anyway’s I went to lowe’s looking for hooks when I stumbled on this. It works very well and only cost $10 to put up. Hope this helps

[IMG]http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e25/nexson1/3rd%20album/IMG_0109.jpg[/IMG]I hope you’re charging for this!! Those tips and fusor packs aren’t cheap. Looks like it is coming along pretty good. I hate fixing cracks.
[quote=”bondomerchant” post=25298]1.2 thats blasphemy nex :rofl :rofl how ya liking the welder btw 😉 nice looking job :cheers remember its just paint :stoned again im impressed[/quote]
Plastic Welder is awesome. What more could be better then actually fusing the plastic back together with the assurance of Fusor 142 over top and behind. The best present I have ever gotten.[quote=”Andy T” post=25299]Another great job Nex.
I ought to send you this bumper I’m repairing for a mate. It’s a very rare type for a VW Golf that’s almost irreplaceable. He’s split it from one side to the other, over 3 feet long! It’s taking a hell of a lot of Fusor :blink:
Out of interest, what primer do you use over the 142? Do you go straight for a 2K high build, or do you put a plastic primer / adhesion aid on first? And have you ever tried the 114 finishing adhesive?[/quote]You can have it! I guess it is worth fixing since it is rare. I would apply that fusor in thin coats. if you build it thick, it will create air pockets and the pockets will heat up and create bubbles in the finish.
I am using FP410 over all my repairs, I love that primer, it is the only product I have consistantly used. I use the fusor adhesion promotor before the fusor 142. It is a must in my opinion. I don’t use a/p before primer though, since it is has already a 180-220 grit scratch. As for the 114, I haven’t tried it, but others like it. I am using the upol 706, i needed to level out the surface a bit,
Yes this is a bc/cc job. I take the chance by panel painting but it is my only option. Overall the paint all matches great, when you are able to blend it in, then you can’t tell the difference. i didn’t blend the opposite fender, but the fender was painted previously from me.
Thanks Ben,
Honestly, I am perfectly cool with only doing bumpers. Working as a school teacher, I am looking for the job that takes a day or two to complete on the weeken. Bumpers fit that time citeria and they come off the car so I can put them in my booth. Bumpers usually are the first part of the car to get damage, so the business comes easier. I am sure painting doors or hoods/fenders will be a part of my future but I don’t want to walk down that road unless the car is in a real booth. I sort of enjoy specializing in bumpers, as I can work the plastic without needing special tools used for metal.
Yea used the 1.2, I need more jobs with it to see if I can tell a difference. Seemed to flow on nicer though

At least the music sounds good! Music makes any type of video. I am just trying to give jimmo a run for his money,
watch the video this thread as made about in post #1. You will see me unfold it as I take it apart to expand it.
I don’t have a video, but in my video I explain how it is made.
