What epoxy to use to fill steering wheel cracks?

[shupe]

My steering wheel has a couple of small cracks and one large (1/2 inch) chunk gone. What's the best epoxy to fill it with?
This is the stock, skinny wheel on a 69 B'cuda.

shupe, have a look at this site. It's related to VW's but there's a wealth of information about restoring steering wheels that will relate to any similar wheel. Hope this helps.

What about the old stand by JB weld? mask it off then fill,sand it smoth, then paint.It won't shrink and at your local auto parts store,,well thats the one way to do it.I think it would be the riteway or it might be an arkansas thang

Actually JB Weld will crack out pretty quickly according to this article. Haven't tried it myself Mike, so it's just second hand info I'm using. :salut:
