Glue for Cracked Center Console

[ldlabata]

Hello,

What kind of glue should I use to try to repair some small Hairline cracks in the First Geneneration Z center consoles?

And some advice from someone who has tried to repair their consoles?

Thanks in advance.

I had pretty good success repairing a hairline crack on my ’73 console by using Testors contour putty I purchased at a hobby store. I applied it using an applicator I cut out of a plastic coffee can lid. I wiped off any excess while still fresh with a damp paper towel. Once dry, I finished it off with a coat of semi-gloss model paint. You’d have to be looking for the crack to notice it.:sleepy:

black. Perfect if any were to ooze where it doesn't belong.. that is if this is a black console, and not refinished in Napa red.

I glued from the INSIDE surface, and carefully held so that cracks butted up tight until dry. Strong stuff, held up well.

Refinish exterior surface of console using SEM brand Satin Black #15243. The SEM red-brown is a perfect match for the Napa red.
