I was looking at Duramix ABS plastic filler because I want to make a flush mount TV screen in my console. I already have the ABS plastic, but I wasn't sure how much filler I would be using. The screen is 6.4 but I also will have to use a little more than that in other spots. How much area does the 6oz tube cover?

what kinda of car dash is it going in?

for the most part you do not need a lot of duramix. you might be able to get a way with the small tube of it, but it would be better to get the bigger one and at least the small pack of 12 tips. it is mostly used to fill the gaps in and smooth it out or shape it.

you might also want to get the 4040 and the 4058.
the 4058 is the finishing putty if you want to call it that. it sands a little easier and will fill in the holes left by the 4040.
