I was thinking of filling cracks then sand and paint I know they sell a epoxy repair kit, but I already have this in the shop. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 2,384 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 2,384 | I used it several years ago, still looks good. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 940 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 940 | I've read of others doing the same and it working out just fine. The actual "steering wheel" epoxy is softer stuff tho. Makes sanding everything even a lot easier.
Whatever you do, be sure to clean it well with mineral spirits or the like and drill out the cracks well. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 3,596 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 3,596 | If you search on here some of the posts have some great step-by-step pictures. | | | | | Joined: May 2012 Posts: 574 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2012 Posts: 574 | i used it and it works great

This project is on my list too. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 | JB will work well for this repair.
I used a 2 part epoxy that is in a stick. You cut off the amount you need and knead the stuff together.
I believe the specialty stuff is the same just sold at a higher price.
Woodys demo above is using JB
he followed the JB epoxy with body filler and sand-able primer | | |
