Padded Dash Filler

Works great on my cracked 1988 190E dashboard. It fills well, with proper mix, the drying time is well controlled, and the end results is joint that is compatible with the dash material. It sands well as well.

Like the description implies it dries incredibly fast it will start to gel up after about 2 minutes so you either have to work extremely fast or you have to make small batches there's really no instructions or anything so I kind of wish that they had either made it gel up slower or just included instructions saying work with a little bit at a time it does dry in a couple days completely and the stuff is flexible so for padded dash it works a lot better than Bondo it is kind of expensive however

First, wear a breathing filter. The product mixes like any standard body filler, has a reasonable working time, but you should still mix in small, workable batches, and it spreads out very smoothly if working in a space at room temperature. I used this product to repair huge cracks on an old (1969) BMW 2002 dashboard and got beautiful results. I even used it to "reskin" the dash and it still remains pliable and resists cracking; however, you will have to use a texture coating to get a factory like finish. If I had one negative, is that it is very expensive, but a little goes a long way, and it's way more cost effective than getting a dash re-skinned.

I thought this would have a softer finish to match the density of the dash. If it looks like bondo, smells like bondo, fills like bondo and dries like bondo, its bondo.

I followed the suggested repair procedure from the manufacturer and plastic welded the split foam before applying this filler.I’m pretty happy with the end result, however time will tell how it stands up to the summer sun.Overall I would definitely recommend this for anyone who wants to repair their cracked dash but not pay to have it recovered properly. Its a bit pricey for a small can but seems to do exactly what it’s supposed to pretty well and I’m happy with my purchase.

Great stuff, thank goodness it works, not it dries hard not has 'padded' as expected. And know it is a very small can and like anything when you have to guess/approximate on how to mix it, not a perfect process. I made a batch that was too large and dried too fast the first time and will probably need another expensive can to finish the project, just beware and start small.

This is a little spendy but most excellent product to use for repairing and restoring dash cracks. The “bondo” is flexible, which is necessary. The flexibility makes it better than regular bondo, which can crack. Highly recommend Polyvance.

For the price being $25.99, this product is absolutely terrible. It's terrible to work with, the smell is absolutely sickening. I'm conditioned to tons of commercial grade solvents and other horrible smelling things, but this one is like a dead skunk filled with old gear fluid. It's really that bad. Don't even think about working with this stuff without a respirator. The shrinkage is horrible as well so you can expect multiple coats, which when you only get 8 oz, you'll end up needing way more filler than expected. They drying time is really all over the place and heavily depends on how much hardener is added. On the topic of hardener, PolyVance should really revisit their instructions on their ratio. It's 50:1, but they never specify whether that's by volume or weight and that's a really silly mistake for a company like this to make. It's flexibility is very mediocre. I'm very curious to see how well it holds up on older cars with plenty of body roll/twist, I really don't think it will be flexible enough. Basically the only redeeming quality(and the reason for two starts instead of one) is that it is very easily sand-able. If you've ever sanded some resins you can know what a nightmare it can be, but this is not so bad. I would absolutely not recommend this product at it's current price point. If you can find it on sale for half off, absolutely give it a shot.
