Steering Wheel Repair - What epoxy???

mopowers said

Mine really isn't in horrible shape. There are just a few chips (I have most of the pieces) on one of the spokes that I need to glue back on. JB Weld just doesn't do well gluing plastic together, so I need to find another product. That panel bond looks intriguing, as does the PC-7. How good is the PC-7 as an adhesive for small pieces? Replicating the tiny ridges where the repair won't be fun either. Oh well, it'll be a good winter bench project for a future hotrod.

I cheated and waxed the good section ,sprayed with pam anti stick buffed dry a bit and actually mad a bondo "think bubble gum or that old playdough trick" to mimic the shape, slathered some pc-7 on the broken part and slapped on the (again waxed and pam sprayed,but added saran wrap over that since I was still a bit chicken it would stick) bondo mold for a good shape like the other side of the wheel. clamped it tight and waited (seemed like forever but was only a day) till the pc-7 cured,BTW it glues just fine holding the horn section together on mine (3rd year and counting , no cracks now checking and it's in Florida sun 12-16 hours a day) but if you really need a "hot" glue as in fast look into H-6 https://www.amazon.com/RH-Adhesives...ocphy=9012092&hvtargid=pla-313565211053&psc=1. it's a fast vinyl glue (well vinyl is pvc so it counts for me.) I've used it a lot if I can't get shavings and melt the plastic in an acetone slurry , that does work best if it'll melt your steering wheel plastic (the acetone and plastic melted into it I mean)
