oops!!!

Just took off a chuck .5 in.wide and .25 deep on my last step before glassing what can I use to fill the hole?

HELP!

Traditionally you’d square it out, glue in a chunk of foam to fit (tightly) and shape it down.

if it were me, i’d probably fill it with resin/microbaloon mix

Ok ! Thanks!!!I tought I could use some kind of paste or foam dust and white glue...i d ont know, but I will do it as you wrote.

I also read in the archives I can use spackle ....what is it? anybody who speaks french can tell me or can you give me a trademark ...is it like polyfila? thank you!

If it's not too late... Take a scrap of foam and rub it against some sandpaper until you have a little pile of foam dust.  Mix it with a little resin, a little catalyst and a couple drops of white pigment.  Dab it on to your ding.  Get it smooth - just scrape over it with the edge of a credit card.  Glass right over it.  It doesn't have to cure.

no it s not too late ,and I like the idea.

Try not to spread it all over the place.  Just keep it confined to the dented area.  It works fine (nearly invisible) with a clear glass job. 

that’s much better than my idea! thanks John, i’ll have to remember that one

Hi chris -

Same idea.  Sometimes it's a pain to find some of those additives.  Since he just shaped a board I figured he had some scrap foam around.
