steering wheel fix..

anybody know of a good product to fix and restore cracks in a steering wheel?? any info would be appreciated

 

There is a guy at the Clark County fair grounds every time I go down for the swap meet that uses epoxy to repair the cracks and then he uses Epoxy spray paint to make them look like new again. I have been thinking about trying it my self and seeing how it turns out. Gumpa

 

i think if you do a search you'll find ALOT of old wheel restoration posts.
i used PC-7 on an old vette wheel & it worked goooood.
do a search you'll learn alot of good tips.

 

PC7 to fill the cracks..sand smooth and paint.

pretty simple.

I used pc7, but the wheel got a small crack after about a year. Not nearly as bad as it was. When I get a chance I'll yank it and fill it again.

 

JB Weld (JB KWIK variety). Works perfect, lasts forever. Even though it's the quick set version, let it dry overnight cuz it will shrink just a bit. Now when you get to painting the wheel (I don't know what it is), if it was the translucent looking mat'l there's a way to get that look and it's pretty simple to do. For the sake of discussion lets say it's translucent white. Spray a nice white base then a coat of light gold pearl. Go easy on the pearl. For a top coat or clear coat, add some either rich brown tint, or some transparent gold to the clear, but not too much. Spray it on enough so that the "flakes" in the pearl just barely show. The end result will be the look of the original plastic mat'l. This works on nearly any color wheel. I've done red, a couple blues, and several whites. Be conservative on the applications and do a test panel that dries out overnight since the "candy" clear coat will tend to dry darker than it looks wet. Sorry to be so wordy...

 

I've used J-B Weld regular and Kwik successfully as well.
