cracked dash pad repair?

I picked up a very nice GM dash pad today at the junkyard for $25. It is in perfect shape except for one 3/4" hairline crack on the front. Is there a way to repair this, or at least stop the crack from getting worse? I still need to clean and dye this pad to match my interior, so now would be the perfect time if there is a way to do this.

Thanks.

maybe fill it with kiltz, it is good for filling small holes and it paints over well. just a thought....

Yes, but will that stuff prevent further cracking? The crack is super small and thin, barely noticable, but I don't want to invest time and money into dying it just to have it crack some more.

Anybody else have any input? Ken? Mike? Chris? Jonboy?

What about some of that vinyl repair stuff. I think Eastwood sells something for this.

duct tape : its like the force, it has a dark side, it has a light side, and it holds the universe together.
