Default Did the Herculiner thing this weekend

Hey - my thanks for the numerous posts on applying Herculiner to the wheel wells. I did mine this weekend and they came out excellent! I did the plastic trim below the doors too. I was afraid this would be over-the-top, but it really does look clean. Hope it holds up.

A question. My front bumper has a couple cracks (really breaks) that I'd like to address before putting on a brush bar. As well, the headlight washers have been removed and there are a couple of holes. Anyone tried duct-taping or otherwise sealing such holes and cracks, and covering it up with Herculiner? I know this sounds cheesy, but I think the Herculiner would lend some rigidity to this el-cheapo repair. Thoughts?

Why not use bondo followed up with a sanding before paint? Tape won't last.

1 - You got a camera?

2 - IMO you should just fix it right the first time. Duct tape will dry out, fray, eventually give out and you'll be annoyed having to peel it off and deal with it again.

Atlantic British sells plates that will cover those holes for you.
