Ideal for repairing dashboards.

Works great. I recommend ordering extra staples and having good sharp wire cutters. If possible, repair from the back as this will look cleaner and require less work. If this isn't possible, use a dremel to first sand down each leg of the staple that couldn't be cut off, then smooth out the plastic. I have already recommended ATV/UTV Plastic Repair to a friend. About halfway through my repair, I found that she had a stronger hold by starting at an edge of the crack, pushing about halfway, and then pushing/pulling/shifting the clamp to the midpoint of the crack, or starting from the center. Crease halfway through the plastic, then give it a slight twist. Seems to be holding up very well after 3 weeks. If you didn't know melting plastic stinks, make sure you're wearing proper eye, face, and respirator protection.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Expensive
