There's a tutorial for repairing kitchen work surfaces on their website and it occurred to me that it'd be great for repairing cracked dashboards.
Not tried it though!

There is a pic of it being used to seal round a thermostat housing, i can think of a hundred times I would have liked to have something like this in the cars emergency toolbox over the years, although with 24 hours drying time it would have to be a non emergency emergency.

I have used some. It doesnt dry hard, it dries a bit like the rubbery stuff on the back of a sky remote but softer.
The last time I used some was to form rubbery pads on the back of a slippery mobile phone I kept dropping. It can easily be removed with your fingernails, as it doesnt have a lot of strength to it. It moulds like plasticene until it dries. It is handy to have around but I havent found loads of uses for it yet. They say it has a shelf life of about 6 months (if kept in a fridge) but I used a sachet I have had over a year and it was still fine.
