fiberglassing... anyone local that knows how to?

I've got some cracks on my front bumper that I need fixed asap so I can finish my wrap process, I don't really wanna have to buy a new bumper just yet, as I have got a lot into my car at this point so soon.

Is there anyone near the federal way or surrounding area that can help me fix these problem areas, I've seen fiberglassing and bondoing done but don't really know where to start and am lookin for a cheap fix or some help.

Thanks guys!

And it doesn't have to be the most perfect job in the world, just something that will work since I'm just wrapping it anyways

Dude' I just got a repair kit from O'Reilly's. It's about 20 bucks, but comes with everything needed and it's easy to use.

Amazon Amazon

If you ever paper mache'd anything, this is the same concept

You can also get bondo kits that will allow you to fill the gaps. The most important thing when using these kits is to make sure you do it in a dry environment with low humidity. Then allow it to cure for a couple days before you do any sanding/painting/wrapping.
