What epoxy do you suggest for bumper bracket re-attachment?

I've got the same problem. I'm going to use Bondo Bumper Epoxy.

I had the same thing and when Josh (Boricua's brother) and I changed out my shocks, he used some sort of expoxy that he had at the panel shop he worked at. Sorry, I don't have a brand but you could make an enquiry at your local smash repairers.

A lot of the body shops are using a 3M body panel epoxy that will bond the ABS plastics used on the bumper covers. It isn't that cheap but it is the best that I have seen out there.
