I’m currently restoring a Rusty board from the 80’s and while most of the board is OK, there is one really ugly ding repair on it that needs a fair bit of work.
My first idea is to cut out the effected (infected) area and replace it with a fairly large peice of foam… then sand it back. The grunge seems to go about halfway into the deck of the board.
Any other ideas on how to deal with it? Is there a better way to fill a large hole like this? Any ideas on fillers that may be suitable without being difficult to work into the right shape?

you already stripped the sucker
cut the wedge of foam
put it in.
I personally recomend
not too much glue so you dont have a seam of glue
that affects the shaping by leaving a bump in the rail
a couple of interior gobs of glue will hold it swell
my favorite is zap glue
but I am fast becoming a zealot.
just dont get the fumes in your eyes
It makes a cool noise when you glue foam.
after the finish shape you can fill the seam
with resin and q-cell when you glass

oh yeah it aint gonna be a rusty no more
give yerself all the credit
now its just a blank
