Dash repairs

what would be the easiest and best way to turn a totally craacked dash looking brand spanking new. i was told the bog wont flex when in the heat, so it would crack up again.
others say get a new dash but where i live it is pretty hard to get any. i have to travel at least 2.5 hours to any major town.
any help much appreciated

hey dude, i used septone bog to do my dash, then i airbrushed it, looks ok, but did crack in one place again, but that could have been from putting it back in, if ur gunna bog it though use a fiber glass bog, it looks like bog n fiber glass mixed together (obviously) its much stronger, then if u wanna put normal bog ova the top of it to get ur shape, but if its cracked real bad use the fiber glass then normal bog, n then paint away!
sorry for long post, if u want more info let me know, matt

Never tried this but sure it would work and looking at doing it soon. Try selleys space filler. You know the shit that is like a expanding foam that you spray in to holes in a wall to fill the gaps. Use it to fill the cracks. Sand it back. Should handle the flex better than bog.

i was going to use the fibreglass stuff, but again thought it would crack up once again.
