    So, I was playing around with some old broken dash parts and JB weld. Found out a great way to fill in holes drilled for switches.

    I used 80 grit sandpaper and scuffed up the back side of this broken dash panel. Then put a piece of gorilla tape on the front of the panel, covering the hole. Next I filled the hole, with JB weld plastic bonder, on the back of the panel. Let the sucker dry for 24 hours and wouldn’t you know the tape peeled right off. This is the result.

    It’s just as strong as the plastic around the fix, if not stronger! Doesn’t look too bad either!
