OT: glue to repair a Vauxhall steering wheel

Hi, Slightly off topic however can any of you clever guys suggest a
suitable glue to repair the horn button cover on a 1999 Vauxhall Zafira
steering wheel. The centre boss is complete with the air bag unit and is
made of a plastic /rubber material. The horn button has split and I need
to try and repair it, I have tried rubber solution glue to glue a patch
on the back but the material seems very 'oily' and will not take the
glue. I have cleaned with acetone before applying the glue.
Any ideas of repair methods or glue would be appreciated.

Araldite rapid,the surface has to be clean from any sort of grease or
debri,that applys to all surfaces before bonding.
Apply as you have done with a plastic bridge behind it for a sounder bond.

 

I'm afraid Araldite Rapid has failed to stick, despite thorough cleaning.
However ancient duck tape on the outer side seems to be ok, need to see how
it stands up to heat and hands!

 

Impact adhesive like Evostik - where you apply to both surfaces, leave
10 mins until touch dry, then assemble the repair

go and liberate one from a scrapyard

 

Superglue sometimes works quite well, as does car body filler (polyester
resin rather than epoxy) especially when combined with a bit of glass
cloth. The tensile strength is crap but with glass to sort that, and the
rest of the glue in shera mode, its not too bad.

 

Look for some PVC repair glue, IIRC it is made of PVC and its a bugger to
stick.

 

Gorilla Glue ? Sticks most things.
