Polyoxybenzylmethylenglycolanhydride, otherwise known as Bakelite (Hard Plastic). Bakelite was the first-ever plastic produced. It was invented by a Belgian chemist, Leo Baekeland. Baekeland combined the 2 synthetic materials, formaldehyde and phenol, under heat and pressure to produce the first-ever plastic, Bakelite. On my steering wheel I used JB Weld to fill the cracks and Rust-Oleum Gloss Black to cover it - see link.
