im fairly certain our bumpers are *not* the easily bonding type. they =
require special primer in the least. as far as the grinder thing, the =

Subject: Bumper Plastic PP, TPO or RIM?
I received a response from SEM tech support regarding adhesives, =
paint and fillers. If the plastic could be identified they could =
recommend the best products for our bumpers . Does anyone know what =
type of plastic our bumpers are made of? PP, PTO or RIM?
Here is what tech support said to look for:
"You should be able to find a stamping on the back side like PP, =
TPO or RIM. If you can not find a stamping there are two ways to =
identify the plastic. First you can apply a drop of lacquer thinner to =
an inconspicuous area on the raw plastic and see if it softens the =
plastic, or if it does nothing. Or use a grinder with a 24 grit disk =
were you will be bonding and see if the plastic balls up or powders. =
If the plastic powders when you grind it and lacquer thinner softens =
it, there will be no problem bonding it. You can use our new product =
39747"
If we can identify the plastic they can recommend the best paint, =
fillers and adhesives!
