I've been given some decent ones, but I'm still not gettin gon with it too well. One problem is the hot weather, the filler is drying too quick now

I was doing some dents a week ago on a car and it was really really hot. Mixed up some stopper on my bench. Got to the car and it had all gone off

i've been having same problem this week on my own car, by time you've mixed it properly and get to the car its gone off, at mo i've started using half as much hardener as i usually would, it helps but still goes off bloody quick, also doesn't help the workshop was around 37-38 degrees today

don't be so naive
mine's been done 6months or so now... driven every day on all roads even suffers bumps from speed humps .etc not one single crack at all not even hairline... most people just assume that it will crack because its often done as a rush job but if you chose someone who takes there time/care about it the results can be fine if not perfect 
It's all really down to the person who did it.

Most people open thier mouth before thinking. The only time I can see a bumper cracking when done like this is if it's driven into something. Even if the bumper was plastic welded it woould still crack in the same situation.
