during the process of shaping my first board, a little accident happened and i now have a pretty large and deep gouge in my board. since the board is amost done i figured i would just go ahead and glass it anyways for practice. i was wondering if anyone knew of any kind of foam filler that i could fill the gouge in with. i cant use the filler/resin because i still need the board to flex. does anyone have any ideas? thanks for the help
I heard that you can use the blank’s “foam dust” and Elmers clear white glue. This would be a mixture/ putty for small dents or holes. I have never done it personally, so I hope to hear from others too.>>> during the process of shaping my first board, a little accident happened > and i now have a pretty large and deep gouge in my board. since the board > is amost done i figured i would just go ahead and glass it anyways for > practice. i was wondering if anyone knew of any kind of foam filler that i > could fill the gouge in with. i cant use the filler/resin because i still > need the board to flex. does anyone have any ideas? thanks for the help
Use lightweight spackle from the hardware or paint store. aloha
yeah, use spakle. but make sure to let it dry completely before sanding it. it’s virtually undetectable under glass. i’ve used this trick many times.

Airbrush paint even looks good on it. Jim
