I read a thread a while back (back in the club days) about using bondo to fill cracks in the dash and suck.
For my dash, I'm just capping it. However, my targa pad is cracked, and I was thinking about this as an alternative. Does anyone have experience with it? My guess would be to cut away the bad material and fill with filler in stages. What would then be used to paint or stain everything black again? Do I want to "seal" the crack with epoxy or some such first? How would I keep the foam and vynal to keep from pulling away from the body filler over time, creating a new, bigger crack? Zach |

The foam is some polyeurethane blend.
If you can find a foam place (foamation.com) you can buy the two part foam, make a mold out of aluminum foil to contain it and pour new foam in the cleaned out crack. the new foam will heat up the old foam and bond with it, then use the vinyl repair kit (if that is the route you are taking) I would suspect that anything firm like bondo would fall out over time.
