Liquid Leather Quick 20 Dashboard Repair Kit

Product Information

Ultimately, you want to build-up a texture that is uniform and smooth across the entire dash surface that will fully conceal the filler and weld repairs.

If you still have stick left over, use the welding tip to melt through the extra piece to cut it off. If you really want to set about this task, you should remove the seats, the steering wheel, the gear stick, and possibly the doors as well. Wipe down the entire dash again and if there are any high spots from the welding stick, you can either re-melt it to reduce its height or sand it down. Fortunately, this DIY uses only materials with elastomeric properties; the welding sticks, filler, texture coating and paints all have the ability to expand and contract with hot and cold temperatures.DO NOT use thick coats of filler or expect to completely fill a weld in one pass; too much product laid down at once will require major sanding to knock down high spots, which are inevitable when using this dash filler. Apply Padded Dash Filler over the repair, several inches on either side of the welded area to bury the edges of the v-grooved area.

Padded Dash Filler 2050-9 is formulated from special polyester resins that increase adhesion to vinyl and other plastic substrates. Most crack repairs will take at least 2-3 layers of filler, with each layer followed by a sanding with all three grits of sandpaper.

If leaving these parts in place will not damage them during the repair, you should at least cover them with paper to protect from dust and aerosol overspray.

Be careful in how you tape off this area, as you can ruin the finished top coating if a piece of tape gets stuck onto the dash surface. Using a Dremel tool with a drum sander, or a rotary sander, sand back the puckered vinyl cover until the cover is fairly flat. 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).Re-wiping back and forth with the same side of the cloth will only reintroduce new dirt and dust into the previously cleaned area.
