BaD luck. I did mine but passed on using a kit. Epoxies have little or no bond to plastics. At work we use plastic to prevent epoxy from bonding to molds and forms. There only benefit is they are non shrinking as generally contain 100% solids. I used Dominion Sure Seal plastic adhesive weld. It took several applications to completely fill the cracks. I had radial cracks all around the circumference plus lots around the the spokes, probably a total of 40 in. of cracking. After filling, sanding, filling , sanding I painted if with 2 part urethane for more flex in the paint. Its been 9 months now with not a flaw to be seen. Make sure to carefully clean the wheel first with strong deteregent and scatch out all the cracks with utility blade and pins to remove hand oils and grime.
