O its strong I pull on it a bit just to test it. That is just a little layer its a fine layer plus I do like 20 mins of sanding to get it really smooth up the edges. thats just after the second layer I have it down now and it took me 5 layers to get it smoothed to match the bumpers curves.

Operation Facelift update

I have the middle filled in took 5 layers and sanding after each one to get it smooth with the body. Going to get a can of primor tonight so I can get that ready for paint. I am also starting to attack the easy cracks that are on each side. Going to order my air brush so I can paint it.

FYI the high flow cat might not allow your car to pass an emission test for NOx, if required. I guess you probaly have an EGR system, but from personal experience, I can tell you that a high flow cat allows three times more NOx contaminants to pass through than are allowed under Ontario standards.
