Now it's time to fix all thos cracks in your interior plastic overlays I
used a similar type of plastic epoxy to fix my instrument panel plastic and
it worked great. I also was able to "re-cover" my right yoke with
Plasti-Dip and that too had great results. I was afraid that it would start
peeling after a year or so but it's still holding strong. Not as cold to the
touch as the powder-coated left yoke too.

Now invest some of that money in a Dremel tool and I'd bet you'll be
able to literally sculpt your next J-B Weld project.


Got one. It's a great tool, but the drill press gave me a solid, spinning
cutting tool against which to push the piece, rather than the other way
around.

This difference gave me much more control over the cut.

Don't have any left!

Actually, there is one cracked piece around the windshield which is not
visible unless you stick your head up by the whisky compass. Every time I
do that (like, once a year) it bugs me, so eventually I'll replace it...
