yea that would be a heat gun. sorry I work for an interior shop and I do thinks like this all day. I would like to let you know that you will want to use a better glue that the stuff in a can from autozone. you will want to use a good contact adhesive like the stuff I use at work.( I will get you the name of it monday when I get to work) by the way you did a very good job I cant say that I could have done much better...Just remember that heat is your best friend ( when using a heat gun you will want to keep the heat moving or you will burn the material) also make sure that your material is stretched front to back not I repeat not side to side.. It will make things look much better (nothing wrong with your work at all) as for when you start your dash you will want to cut the curling edges of you cracks and then use some 1/4" sandable foam ( I think that it is called lando foam.) it is white and it is what we use on arm rest pads because it can be sanded and it is bendable and is easy to work with....... then when you are done shaping and sanding the foam ( after you have fixed the cracks so that you will not end up with a dent in your foam...) you can then use your material to cover the dash I have to do something similar to my dash ( I went out and bought an airless plastic welder to fix mine and now I just have to cover my dash( Im going to use a carbonfiber vener ) just remember one more thing you do not really want to glue all of the material to the dash just around the edges and dont use staples that will go through the dash and your material......
I hope that This is helpful
