that dont tell me why people plastic weld the bumpstrip when flushing it has the swanage lines flushed which i have done

because if you just use filler, it will crack, sink etc so they plastic weld them to keep them rigid, and perhaps a think layer to smooth it over

rogers you got any pics of your car with the bumper strips smoothed??

but if you want to smooth and remove the bumpstrips surely you would remove them all together

you could remove the bumpstrips and filler over them but as above... the filler would sink or crack... you cant just fill the space and expect it to stay there... maybe if it was really small... but in this case u need a support...so that it will retain it shape and not crack... you dotn necesserily need the bumpstrips welded...anything along the same shape and size of them can be used to add support.. but bumpstrips have the exact shape so get welding!!
