[DeTomaso] Filling Cracks in Split Dash

[MDBell]

No, being of the bubba persuasion myself, I'm positive the redneck glue of
choice is duct tape, not JB Weld.  

And have I mentioned before that Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal residue, left
to dry in the bowl after being doused in milk, makes the most awesome epoxy
ever invented.  You literally have to break the bowl to get it loose.  I'm
pretty sure Cinnamon Toast Crunch epoxy would seal up a cracked dash.
Available at your local Kroger.

I had someone fill in the radio cutout in my console.  They used fiberglass
resin, and I'm sure there's some fiberglass matting in there too.  It looks
like it was done at the factory.  They did a fantastic job.

But the dash is plastic.  I would fill the cracks with JB Weld.

Yes, I know, JB Weld is the redneck glue of choice, but in this case, it
should work very well.
