Liquid Leather Quick 20 Dashboard Repair Kit

Product Information

First, a little background on the welding stick you will be using and why I chose it over other plastic welding materials. I chose Fiber-Flex welding sticks for this repair because they are reinforced with fiberglass, melt at a lower temperature and are much larger in size to easily fill wide dash cracks and holes. I have tried a couple of products that let you lift the original dash texture, but it's difficult to transfer that texture back onto your dash. The most common sign of a failed repair will be separation of the filler from the dash surface, usually brought on by high temperatures. If this is the first time you are attempting this kind of repair, I would recommend taking the time to read through this entire post first.

If you have cracks in your dashboard, it’s not only annoying, but it clearly shows that your car is “getting on in years” or has already passed its prime. Testing your repair is as simple as placing the dash in direct sunlight for 30 mins and if possible, exposing it to colder temperatures at night. At this point, you may want to remove the fascia panel, instrument cluster, HVAC vents, and speaker grille, especially if the cracks protrude into or near these parts of your dash. Since Fiber-Flex is recommended for hard-to-weld plastics, it works great for this application due to its high adhesion properties when melted. Confirm this by using your hand to feel it there are any changes in the height of the filler compared to the surrounding dash surface.For more control over the texture appearance, use Polyvance’s 3803 or 3804 Flextex VT texture spray with a 2.

Padded Dash Filler 2050-9 is formulated from special polyester resins that increase adhesion to vinyl and other plastic substrates. You will even notice a difference in the spray tips they use; they rarely clog and consistently put out a uniform spray. Continue filling over all the welds in the dash, as well as any other superficial surface cracks or imperfections you come across.This DIY was written so that even a novice could complete the repair, so please excuse the heavy details in some areas as well as an oversimplifying of what might seem obvious to the more experienced forum member. It is more expensive than many other aerosol spray paints/under-coatings, but you’re paying for the high quality of their products. I think the process would work nicely on a stationary dash but it does not seem able to withstand the stress and stretch to which it is subjected on upholstery. I will do some step by step instructions on each of these when I get a chance and pop a link to them here.

TOP TIP: To make a stamp you need about half a mini pack of sugru, line up another hack before you start so you don't waste any (see Step 8).SEM makes three types of black paint for re-spraying plastic and vinyl car interiors: Landau, Satin and Gloss. Perhaps no one but you will notice the revamped dashboard at first glance since it will blend it perfectly with the well-kept state of the interior.
