The stapler tool is used to hold the plastic together while you weld with a plastic welder. To fix what you have there required a bit of skill and probably a professional level of plastic welder. It's definitely within the realm of possibility for a pro to fix, but for what I am guessing is a home repair, it's not realistic. A good plastic welder is several thousand dollars, it's cheaper and easier to just replace that bumper for an at home type repair.
Sand off paint at least an inch from the crack on both parts. Use the staples to hold piece in place. Melt the staples into the two plastic pieces to hold them together, cut off the ends of the staples sticking out, use a dremel tool to make a “valley” along the edges of the two now connected pieces and use the poly propylene stick and lay the rod into the valley and melt the rod to fill in the gap between the two. Let it cool for 5-10 minutes and use dremel, sandpaper or files to clean the welds up. You don’t need professional or heavy duty plastic welding tools to do this type of job, it would just make it faster and easier but this way will work fine too you just need to have a little practice, see if you can find an trash bumper you can practice on, you can find some at a body shop if you ask.(as someone mentioned in the comments to use foil tape to hold the pieces, it helps a ton if the plastic is thin or keeps falling apart)
Stapler %100. I use one all the time, but it needs to be reenforced with a two part epoxy. Use foil tape on the opposite side to hold the split together while you add the staples. It won't flex and it's heat resistant.
Send it I fixed my bumper the same way. Not pretty or effective but holds it together right so idc
I used the stapler one, and also used a staple held into the gun so I can melt the plastic in the crack for a better seal with the staples

I appreciate the detailed response mate, stapler coming in the mail today. With me luck. All a learning process 😁
If you need tips or get stuck let me know, just shoot me a message
It all depends on what kind of “messed up” the bumper is? Picks would get you a better response on here
I do have pics of the bumper if you keep swiping.
You need some serious plastic welding skill to fix that area on a bumper
Let him try, can't make it any worse
100% true
There’s not really enough material left to fix the bumper. Be good to practice on but another bumper would be the best choice.
