Hello all,
I picked up a used Andy's rc10 bumper on e-bay and some the tines are cut.
I was think of trying some plastic welding or wrapping in carbon fiber.
Does anyone know what those bumper were made of ? I hear for plastic welding you need some donor material .

Pretty sure that they are nylon. That's what they look like.
I just put an Andy's body mount in dye to bring its color back. It took the color quickly, just like nylon.
Now, I think JG stuff is Kydex.

That was my guess. Thinking about it more I may trim some of the material off the edges of the bumper to use as the filler.
