Re: sanding a bumper

There is no such thing as fixing or repairing spiderweb in a flexible panel, only removing and repainting it. To keep the bumper from flexing you can bolt it on the car or throw it on a pair of saw horses.

Re: sanding a bumper

If you are not totally removing the cracks by sanding they will always come back when the bumper is flexed in the least bit.
