I didn't find the book to be of much use. What I would stress is that proper preparation is the key, the epoxy and sanding part is pretty straightforward. I had some small files and dentist picks that allowed me to open up the cracks all the way to the core, and that gave me real good bonding. As for the grease remover and etch that they sell, it worked well, but about the same as the grease remover and Bulldog I've used on other plastic parts. If I had it to do all over again, I'd just get the epoxy.

I used SEM paint and clear coat. I put on quite a few lighter coats and gave it plenty of curing time in betewen cause I figure a steering wheel's going to see lots of rubbing, so I wanted plenty of material on the wheel. It came out remarkably well.

Good luck!
