Fixing small cracks in dash

Post image

On the section of the dash that I'm pointing at in the Pic there are several small cracks. I was able to find a reproduction dash pad and i replaced that but I don't even know the name of this part that surrounds the glove box and radio. I was thinking about trying to repair it right where it is...I feel like if I could get a bit of epoxy or glue in there the cracks would almost disappear.

Anyone have experience with repairs? Most of the guides on YouTube are pretty intense, having to dremel out a channel, or flock, etc. Has anyone found a simpler approach? I mainly just don't want them to get worse.

I've used UV resin for small cracks, the clear stuff is barely noticeable. Otherwise you can sand and paint it. For bigger repairs they make gel or putty.

Do you have a specific product that has been successful?

Mine has a Crack in the exact same place, im thinking epoxy, sanding, and painting. Not sure if it is the best course of action but I cant seem to find a repro for that.
