I love the creative use of foil tape. But you've made a simple job complex, and much less resilient. Why less resilient? What you're doing is a repair using polystyrene and epoxy. Both are much more brittle than the PP (polypropylene) bumper, so any impact there is far more likely to cause a failure. Why not just fill the crack with some melted PP? (Usually the bumper will even have spare tabs somewhere ;) ) Much easier and guaranteed compatible.

Professional plastic welders (bike fairings,bumpers etc) know that they have to use the SAME material to weld them; so,they have an enormous variety of plastic rods for each job; and they charge a lot for those jobs too..; By law,mostly in Europe,USA, and others, it is mandatory to have stamped on EVERY plastic piece,its material; all you do is to look for the stamped(molded!) 2 or 3 letters; Best way is to cut and use a piece of the same plastic you are welding, from a place that stays hidden.

Also, any 2 part adhesives should be mixed on a separate surface and then applied. The problem with your technique is you have sandwiched un-mixed hardening agent and unmixed resin of whatever glue you used under the hardened glue. This will cause the repair to bubble up over time. Overall you have used a very poor technique with poor materials that is guaranteed to fail.
