I have a steering wheel in relatively good condition but with a few cracks. Does anyone out there have a suggestion on what product/material to use to fill in and smooth the cracks? Would one of the putty type epoxy steel products work or is there something better? Thanks for your help.

I just put a $3 cover on mine. It's been working fine for 3 years! And it's nice to hang on to!

I remember seeing something about making a 2-piece plaster of Paris mold off of a good part of the wheel and then moving it to the bad part and using Shoe Goo as the repair agent. Might have been on YT or in Farm Show.

Along the same lines, I have used the epoxy that you knead with your fingers before applying. I forget the name, but it comes in a little tube, like playdough. I like it because it is already a solid that you can get close to the shape of the repair. You can easily sand it when it cures in a few minutes and then paint. Works well for my steering wheels.

Try Eastwood. PC 7 may not be any better than bondo but it will cost more and just might make you feel better. LOL! or (:^D

I use auto body repair material such as bondo to repair steering wheels. It is easy to sand and blend into the wheel so that once it is painted it cannot be seen. I tried one of the epoxy materials on one wheel and it cracked around the filler again soon after it was painted.

We have used JB Weld on several wheels.. you can apply it and the sand it down after it dries.. Paint the steering wheel black and you can hardly see the places that you fixed.. It works well even for larger missing pieces of the wheel covering, just add multiple layers until you get them back to original.
