Can someone please explain to me how Duramix 40/40 and 40/58 are used in the making of a fiberglass dashboard?

What are each of these products?  (please explain in plain english for newbs)

How is each used exactly?

Thanks in advance!

Appears to be the $50.00 solution to a $1.00 problem.

In scanning the apps guide Duramix appears to be designed to replicate the rigidity of the original plastic part. I don't see any real advantage over regular epoxy/cloth and a reducer wipe, perhaps someone more framiliar with this product does. Link below.

The 4040 is nice to use when filling large gaps. The 4058 is more to finish up leftover smaller holes and imperfections after you use the 4040. Neither one is a good solution for making a fiberglass dashboard since they are more geared to work with plastics.

Thanks, I guess I won't be needing them.  I plan to wrap fleece and hot glue it to my plastic dash and then glass that.
