Just a temporary fix I'm needing, basically to stop a crack from getting any worse until I can get it fixed properly. Will Tiger Seal do the job or is there something else better?

Cheers

It's going to get properly fixed, but I'm just asking about something quick I can do to stop it getting much worse.

Drill a 6-8mm hole at the end of the crack, that will stop it spreading further.

The BEST thing to do is

Take the bumper to the bodyshop and get it plastic welded properly. then pay and get back in your car and go about your business

Then when your ready take it back and get it filled and sprayed etc

all others ideas are just bodges tbh

For a quick fix, at either end of the crack drill a 4mm or 5mm hole to stop the crack advancing. That will buy you some time.
