It looked great when finished in gloss black, but I never got to see it years down the road. On my AD I'm trying this Loctite epoxy gel into the cracks after I ground out a groove for it to sit in. I was told this stuff will sit tight and not run away on you. Any input, should I go ahead, or are there better ideas around? Steering wheel

It stays where you put it and sands just like the material the wheel is made of. Easy to work with. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2013 Posts: 178 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2013 Posts: 178 | Thanks, the Loctite epoxy is working well, but requires my 90 degree die grinding sander to get thru quickly. I've only done the backside of the wheel so far, I'll try the JB on the front next.

But, I used POR 15 Epoxy Putty to fix the steering wheel for my 54' Chevy. It worked great, easy to apply and sand. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2013 Posts: 144 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Apr 2013 Posts: 144 | I've used plain old JB Weld, but V-d the crack and drilled small divot-like holes in the crack sideways to give it somewhere to creep into and try to get a toe hold. So far, so good, 2 wheels nearly a decade ago. | | |
