no concerns about strength here, give it the shake test... The casting 'flash' at the edges should be left on until just before upholstery as it adds alot of strength while you work on it

quick install just to check fit. compare this to the opening photo. once the flash is gone it's perfect. you can still see the fill spot under the white circle

Its DASH time... Always nice to be able to start with a mint piece, but too bad it can never be used as a stock dash again....

in preparing the dash for adhesives, any unecessary spaces that will trap air should be removed

slow and careful, a sharp blade will make it's way where you don't want it to in the time it takes you to blink....

these turned up edges exist all around the dash, and the edge is where the upholstery has to grab, so a flat edge works best

after a wash down with a good degreaser, dont forget to wash down the underside, particularly where the upholstery adhesive has to do it's work.

Not only is the surface rough, but it also has a glaze on it. The smoother it is without the glaze, the better the adhesion. Just like bodywork, the real prep has to be under the finish coat.

sanding carefully smoothes out the rough surface and gets rid of the glaze

I like lacquer thinner for cleaner/prep. Don't douse it, just wipe it down, the thinner could actually eat a hole in this stuff if you leave it sit on there. now it's ready for the last trial fit in the car.
