Wood Finish Crack "Repair"

[Fifty150hs]

I heard about a material called Glu Boost that was supposed to be good for fixing cracks in guitar and other gloss wood finished. After watching the video of its use, I decided to give it a try and do a write up on how it turned out.

It is not a perfect repair in the case of the cracks in my center console. As a prep to doing my center console wood, I did the wood on my door trims that had some small cracks in them. That turned out well as the cracks were smaller and not very open.

So I went to work on the center console. The first step is to remove the center console from the truck. That is a PITA, but necessary as to , IMHO, do the job right the wood needs to be removed from the console and the plastic parts that are attached to the metal piece the wood is attached to it need to be removed too. The only way to do that is to pull the console.

This first set of photos is to show the condition of the console before I started. It also shows the first material I used for the cracks along with the accelerator spray. The Glu Boost is applied and then sprayed with accelerator so it hardens. That happens immediatley.
