CA Polyurethane bumper fix?

hey guys i have a stock S5 bumper that has about an 8 inch crack that ive been trying to fix, ive read some other threads about plastic welding and figured i would pick one up. After reading about the plastic welder i realized you need PUR material for it to bond (should've considered before buying )...well i havent had any luck finding PUR sticks to weld with so i was wondering if anyone knows of a website that sells PUR sticks or an alternative solution for the crack.
Thanks.

Depending on the age of the car and insurance company, collision shops are sometimes forced to use re-conditioned bumper covers. In worst case senarios, where the a re-conditioned cover isn't even available, they send them in for repair. If there's a trusted repair shop near you, see who they use. If local, that company might be willing to sell you the material.
All that said, it might be easier and cheaper in the long run to buy another cover in better condition and just have it re-finished.
