My Q-bond arrived in the mail today. Monday is my next day off, will tackle the console then. Been looking at other plastic trim pieces inside that need attention as well. I'll find out if Uncle Fester is right. Been looking Q-bond up on the web. Like what I see. My buddy Pat who built vans for a living in the day says I should trash the plastic piece and if I just HAVE to have a console, build one from wood. I'm sticking to the plan and fixing the one I have. Wish me luck gang.

GOOD LUCK ! You won't need it as I have NO DOUBT you will be happy with it. I would add a few drops between the separated parts and press them together, then turn it over and do the powder fill in from behind. I am sure it will work good. Keep us posted.

JB weld is Junk. I have so many people bring me stuff they tried to fix with JB weld I charge extra to clean it up before I can fix it with the right stuff. I do weld for a living for probably over forty years now and I get so pissed if someone brings me something with that junk in there... Basically like a John boats, to weld a few rivits that leak,intakes or blocks or exhaust manifolds ....God, the mear mention of JB WELD just set's me off...Sorry. Investigate and always use the right stuff , for metal ...weld it,,,, for plastic bond it with a comparable bonding agent. Never use JBWELD... EVER !!!

Tell us how you REALLY FEEL about JB WELD Phoenix ! lol I have to agree, it MIGHT be ok for short term EMERGENCY repair, but nothing more, and only if you are gonna throw the broken/repaired part away when you get home.

Believe me...JB Weld is NOT even on my list of possible fixes for anything. Have tried it a few times over the years for quick fixes and was always let down. Know a few that swear by the stuff...they can have it. Have the Q-bond that Uncle fester recommended. Will be fixing my panel and maybe try it on some other stuff today. Also may try it on my wife's car. The glass for her convertible top is coming loose at the bottom where the glass meets the material.
