Thanks Greg. I have never heard of this product, but certainly am very
familiar with JB Weld. I will look into this to see if it might do the
trick. TA

Hi Scott,
You might want to get some Bondo Bumper Repair Paste. It is a black,
slightly flexible two part epoxy. The package looks remarkably like the
familiar J-B Weld twin tube card. Available at most auto parts stores it is
one of my favorite tool box items.
For only a couple bucks you could experiment with the mixing ratios to
match density of your steering wheel. If you've used J-B Weld, (my #1 tool
box item) it will be quite similar.
