Default Body shop guys... Help!

I got a slit in my rear bumper from backing into something. Its about two inches long. Its a perfect cut, the edges line up and everything. It would be an easy fix for me if I could use fiber glass or bondo. However, I'm not sure what bonds to polyurethane bumpers. I work with epoxy from time to time in the construction biz and I am pretty familiar working with the stuff. I found this kit!

Will this work? Does anyone know of something similar I can use?

Duct tape FTW

I believe they could still use bondo or fiberglass. They would just have to drill small holes around the cut, so the fiberglass has something to sink into.

Fusor is real good stuff. You have to have a special gun for it though, which costs around $55. You can use Evercoat Urethane adhesive with a regular caulk gun and it's probably $15 cheaper. Don't use fiberglass. You'll want to sand the back of the bumper with 36 grit and put a decent amount of adhesive on the slit and be sure to spread it good too. Don't do any work to the front, since most shops won't paint it if you do the body work.
