Paul---That's the way to go.
It's called Envirotex, a two-part epoxy, & you can get it at any big art
supply place.
The dash has to be out of the car and face up & level.
You just mix it up, pour it on & it gravity-levels to an even thickness..
You then have to play a propane torch over it to get the bubbles out before
it drys.
I did mine 10 years ago & as far as I know, it's still perfect.
Easy & perfect hi-quality appearance.
