I use this as a filler. It works like bondo but stays flexible. Only mix about the size of a quarter at a time to not waste any.
Once I 'break' off all of the old dry rotted cover then this stuff goes on. Build it up in thin layers. Once its pretty close I will use a heavy file or surform to knock off the high spots. When its just about right, I hit with 120 gr sandpaper. As it gets near perfect switching to 220 then 320. Stuff shapes and feathers nicely.
At the cold joint (between the new stuff and the existing material) I use fiba fuse drywall tape. Any overage of the tape will sand right off.
When the filler is finished, I use SEM texture coating with a couple of light coats, followed by colour coat then satin clear finish.

I found this dash on the shelf that I started a couple of years ago. Decided to finish it for the heck of it. I will post progress pics.
