Correct glue for Dash Bezel Fix...

[JAG1]

Tried different glues for compatibility since I have a broken Bezel and found ABS pipe glue works very well and does not come off.

 

I'm also laminating a piece of decorative cowboy Hide just over the top to add strength and hide cracks. Kinda tough to do but one trick is to glue a larger piece on there and then trim it later after glue sets up. Careful with the front edge.

Ha, I fiberglassed my dash on inside and was going to use some sort of hide/leather for same reason and never finished it. I think I might do it soon if I feel board. Is abs good for that too?  I guess it may be as it's made to melt plastic for bonding. little Honda I drive to work now has that vinal dash and I like it, other vehicles have it too, be better than carpet on top.

I spread silicone over the back of mine where it had broken. It held up pretty fair but it is broken in so many places now it just needs to be replaced. If i pulled it off right now it would just be a bag of pieces.

Sometimes I feel like a bag of pieces lol.

 

I know it works on the bezel but the dash part might be PVC so would need pvc glue. There is also a combination glue that works for ABS and PVC pipe so do a test by smearing some on the underside and see if it sticks and won't come off first.

 

I glued leather pieces to the underside where the cracks were for reinforcement and then decorated the top with a strip of leather. It looks pretty good on there but is hard to cut so it looks even. Just have to push and pull so it lays tight around the compounded curves and looks good in front, tape it till it sets up.
