repairing a steering wheel

That was easy then!

My wheel was not that broken and my 70+ hours was tough but worth it. That PC-7 can be tough stuff! Cure time is everything, wait too long and it is almost impossible to cut down. Too early and it pulls away then more is needed! Fine line on when to work it.

I cheated on the PC-7. I have an old oven from the kitchen that I use to powder coat small parts and the wheel went into the oven @ 175 for 20 minutes to heat soak the thing. Cure time dropped wayyyyy down when I used the epoxy on the warm wheel and I was able to sand within 4 hours of warming the part up, oh and warming it up made the sanding a lot easier too! The first time I used pc-7 I waited from Tuesday to l the weekend day to sand #$%$% like sanding a granite rock with 3000 grit paper.
