Hello there,
Firstly let me thank you all for your hard earned knowledge and your kind information…
So, Im shaping a nice triple stringer 9’6 long board for a buddy and as im planing the planer caught on the stringer and gauged the blank . Nice. The gouge is about 6 inches long and 2 inches wide one end to nothing the other end, kinda looks like the Harbour logo! its to the right of my stringer. The stringer is not affected, just the foam. It is about 1/8th deep at deepest point. The blank is shaped to desired thickness so I cant take another pass, I do still have shaping to do ( bottom contours then finish sand etc } so Im sure it will be a bit smaller by the time im done, but pretty sure it will still be there! The glass job will be clear, volan, with tail patch. Ding is on base near stringer 1ft up from tail.
This is not my first blank ding! but it is my biggest. In the past I used a heat gun { kinda worked, made blank go a bit brown} and drywall spackle (kinda worked but didnt match blank}
What else could i do / use ??
- Could I make a paste with resin and cabosil as if it was ding repair? tape it of and sqeegee it in there? let kick, sand a bit , then glass over?
- Should I use spackle again?
As always, any help on this would be greatly appreciated , Thanks so much.
