Re: 1959 GMC 9310 Canadian built Shortbox Fleetside Deluxe
So this past week I drove 500 miles to work on the truck with Ken for a few days. We got lots done!
I spent a few hours working on repairing the steering wheel cracks with Fusor 100EZ and a dremel.
I Vee'd out all the cracks with my Dremel tool and the bit shown in the picture below. It worked perfectly and I would highly recommend this tool for this job!
Fusor 100EZ is a beautiful plastic bonding material that has a 40 minute work time. Because of the long working time, I was able to only use one static mixer by squeezing out a tiny bit of adhesive at a time onto some masking paper and used my gloved finger to smear and push it into the grooved out cracks. I used the static mixer to mix the product as per manufacturer's instructions. I kept applying product as it started to set up as it sunk into the cracks. I made sure I had built up enough product to be sure that when I sanded and Dremelled the excess material off, I could smooth over the cracks and not have any low spots.
I turned out real nice!
