Dash fix. Fixed. V2

Being thrifty like I am, I saw a product from urethane supply co. That was meant to full in dash cracks, and boy does this have them.

Here is the main problem, between the oil, speedo and the tech gauges there is a crack in the vinyl. That's it on the front of the dash.

The ugly crack.  There was more vynil stuck to this but I didn't get a beginning picture.

But on the top.... Cracks galore. After chipping vinyl, the bad foam has to come out.  One hole is 1/4" deep.

I started pushing in with my thumb in outwards circles from the cracks until the dash top stopped cracking. One spot got huge.
Then I took a dremel and ground down the edges so they weren't jagged and curled up around it.

Here is the urethane in action.
I looked on the bimmer forums and a trans am forum , and they were both happy with the results. It gets sprayed with s.e.m. coating afterwards. If this $17 fix doesn't work, then it gets a $60 dash cap...  Still not $329 for a new dash cover.

After it dries, it gets 150 grit sanding to general form, then 325.
Update later....

Update 2-5

All of this beauty from an 8 oz can.
Sands amazingly flat and feels more plastics than regular bondo. If you mix the putty oo "blue" this stuff sets up quick. The best mix color is little old lady silver/blue hair color.
I'm coining that phrase.

The original offending crack from tech to Speedo...fixed!
Another update coming after final sanding...

And here's the finished product.

After a wipe down with degreaser from the paint, I shot it with the SEM coating. Amazing stuff.

Here's the offending crack after the fix.
I know it was (is) there, but you have to look for it. 

quick edit-  after shooting the sem coating, it seemed to be horribly flat black.  the type that turns dusty white after just barely touching it.  I hit it with some duplicolor bumper black (flat) that made it look almost satin finished compared to what it was.
