It's an older Subie, and I'm hesitant to pay to cost of replacing the bumper. Anyone got a cheap fix that's a step up from duct tape?

I have been asked many times how to repair a plastic bumper cover. So I made this short article and kept it simple without all the fancy long plastic names that manufacturers like to use. I had the opportunity to meet Dick Jacobs, he was the founder of Duramix, the plastic adhesive repair company which was bought out by 3M a few years back. Dick was one of us, a very simple focused man, constantly thinking about what innovation he could come up with for the Duramix product line and spoke in very simple terms but extremely thorough.
