Dash repair
Today I discovered a pretty handy way to repair cracked dashes. I had been considering purchasing a plastic welder and while researching them found a video explaining how to weld plastic with a low wattage soldering iron.

Re: Dash repair
Nice.
Will the welding procedure make that area any more flexible or make it worse?

Re: Dash repair
This dash had several cracks and the front section was busted out. This is a low budget build for a friend and I thought I'd give this a try. It worked better than I thought. I don't think its anymore flexible. It seems like a pretty good way to fix a broken dash.
