Steering wheel repair
What have you guys filled the cracks with on your wheels? Epoxy? Also, what do you paint them with? And what type of prep do you need? Thanks

Thanks nfury, I think Im going to try what I have left of some JB weld. Worst case is I have to sand it all back down.

Almost forgot, the guy that told me about JB Weld used to do a lot of resto work. He mentioned the critical part was carving out the cracks to good clean plastic and making a nice V shape out of the crack. This let the JB really grab on.
Let us know how it goes! I have an old wheel here I have been meaning to try for about a year now.

Try stwheels@shaw.ca He fixes them for a living. He is called the steering wheel guy, out of Canada. I don't know how pricey he is.
