What products do you recommend for dashpad repair?

Hi. I've a 91 Z28 with a broken dashpad. Driver's side impact crack on the corner. Second crack is on the dashpad speaker and on the driver's side. What kind of products have any of you used to repair dashpads? I am posting a couple of photos with this post.

I'm not exactly sure how this stuff works on a dash but I used this vinyl repair kit from AutoZone and a seat one time and it worked great, couldn't even tell that it had been repaired!

I havnt had any luck with Dash fixers. You can replace the top of your dash (the whole thig) for 80-100 bucks. Just check ebay for it. I had a really cracked one and found one at a junk yard, guy gave it to me for 20 bucks. mint condition.

Ive had no luck with that repair stuff from walmart, probably same as autozone sells where you mix different colors to get the right color then heat it with a soldering iron. it looked okay for a few months, then it changed colors after being in the sunlight for a while. in the wintertime, the cracks got even wider so I gave up and got another dash pad
