Hey guys came across this, never seen it but if anyone has ever used this maybe you could let us know if it any good with repairing the common door trim crack?
The problem with the door skins is with their age they are so brittle that even with repair they'll probably crack again. Fibreglass reinforcements in the danger spots works reasonably well...or a new doorskin if you've got the dollaaaahhhz!!!

I am going to run Resin over the whole Lower Door Trim to re-enforce the whole trim. I am hoping that will do the trick. But then again I am doing a re-trim as well.

Yep filling the inside of the plastic with soemthing eg araldite, resin, etc seems to reinforce it enough to stop any cracking happening in the first place
Did this when i first got my car 5 years ago, no cracks so far
My screw hole thingies on the bottom edge and front edge have disintegrated, so I had to use fibreglass to remake them. The Araldite in the weak spots is a good idea.

If you use Araldite, use the super strength because the 5 minute stuff goes soft when it's warm. There is this really awesome mill spec stuff called K138 which is the bomb...

You could also try a product called dynatron and put a thin layer on the back of the door trim where it cracks and bonds better than any product that I have used and can be sanded painted etc, they usually use it for repairing bumpers etc. Most paint and body shops suppliers sell it.
