Liquid Leather Quick 20 Dashboard Repair Kit

Product Information

The Fiber-Flex sticks melt fast and become very sticky, so this will make your repair go many times faster when compared to polyurethane rod.

So looking at this has left me with the prospect of trying to re-create one in Fiber glass without destroying a Mint original in the process. The FiberFlex will link into the foam and form a solid, yet flexible, foundation for the filler that will be applied. I have tried a couple of products that let you lift your dash texture, but it's difficult to transfer that texture back onto your dash. You will notice that this product forms bubbles that quickly pop on the surface and then settle down into a random blotchy texture.Depending on how deep the crack is being repaired, you may need to melt another welding stick on top of the previous one to build up the surface. The E21 dash does not have a consistent pattern of veining; it's random and difficult to match up, even with a duplicate in hand. 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. This is the same welding material that is used to repair the TPO plastic used in many bumpers on today's cars. Special attention should also be paid to covering the three windshield vents in the top of the dash if you choose not remove them from below.

If you notice some high spots or areas with a rough or porous texture, wait at least one hour before attempting to lightly sand it using 150 grit paper. Your chances of doing a quality job will likely increase if you are able to have access to all cracks from any angle.That the section of dash that juts out fits well into the bend of the plastic piece and 2) the edges of the plastic trim pieces hang off the edges an equal amount (see below). There are so many vinyl repair kits out there that all seem to offer the same thing: a vinyl-based fill compound that goes on too thin and doesn't provide a long lasting repair. A cracked dashboard indicates a structural issue beyond the abilities of a standard leather or vinyl filler. If anyone out there has had success with duplicating the dash texture over a larger crack, I would like to hear about it. Just mist it lightly on the dash and wipe with a clean cloth that doesn’t leave lint or loose fibers behind, as they can be more challenging to remove from a painted undercoating surface.

Even with the primer being applied, the undercoating will still absorb some of this top coat, so put enough paint on to cover the dash fully with a uniform color.At the end of the video, we demonstrate how to use Polyvance’s Flextex VT to re-texture the dash after it has been repaired. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. Using a Dremel tool with a drum sander, or a rotary sander, sand back the puckered vinyl cover until the cover is fairly flat. Make sure the spot is completely clean and apply the plastic filler with the hardener and the colour that matches your dash.

You need a product that will adhere and hold to the dash and is thick enough to fully conceal the repair underneath. 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. TOP TIP: To match the leather in the Porsche, we used 4 mini packs of sugru (1 x Orange + 1 x Green + 1 x Black + 1 x White) However, you really only need a very small amount of each.This initial cleaning will now be followed with the Filler Prep solution, which will help the filler material to bond with the dash surface. Shake the can for a minute and spray a light coat over just the areas of the dash that have undercoating.
