how restore my steering wheel?

Hello. I have a 75 cj5 with the original steering wheel. It's the big black one that looks like it should be in an 18 wheeler. Anyway, it has cracks in the plastic in several places that are quite deep and look bad. I would like to fill them in. I checked and restoration kits are over $100.00.

Does anyone know a cheap way to fix it? I would like to fill the cracks with something like epoxy and then paint it.

Any advice appreciated.
thank

I was going to tell you to look at POR 15, but it's $91
STEERING WHEEL REPAIR KIT-POR-15 Inc.

however looking at the kit, they are selling you cleaner, epoxy, and some polisher, so you should be fine just using epoxy on the steering wheel.

another option would be to pickup a nicer one off of ebay

For $100.00 you could replace it!
