How to fix cracks in dash (Was: Re: Cracked dash pictures...)

[roccoguy@mac.com (salda)]

Ok, for all of you out there that have "small" cracks in your dash, here 
is how you can fill them in to stop them. I started working with a buddy 
of mine who does interior repair and seen him do this on numerous dashes 
with cracks and holes in them.

Fill them with gel-type Super Glue! Smooth the glue out as best as yo 
can with a small putty knife, or just wrap some masking tape around your 
finger. After it dries, lightly sand it with at least some 200 paper. 
After that, you spray some interior dye on it to cover up the white of 
the glue.  PRESTO! Cracks are gone! YOU will be able to see the repair, 
but nobody else will notice it, and it will look a lot better than the 
crack.  Check out http://www.semproducts.com to find a distributor for 
the dye. It just comes in an aerosol can that you spray on. If you 
cannot match the color with a pre-mixed color, you can buy a kit with a 
bunch of colors and mix your own, using an airbrush or small paint gun 
to apply.

good luck!
