There's scads of videos on youtube professing to instruct on ding repair. I recall some young girl who talked about waiting for
the fiberglass to "melt" after applying resin to it. Just one example of the stupid out there.
Here's another. This appears to be some pommie who decided to make an instructional video about fixing an old board. Hasn't got a clue.

How would you fix that relic right?
Many of the ''shaping'' vids are equally painful to watch. I usually don't know whether to laugh or cry.
Did he even clean it before fixing? I was cringing at his sanding technique, but my wife loved it LOL!
I can’t believe I wasted my time and watched that. I might not be a ding repair guru, but I have fixed plenty of my boards and those of friends and that was just terrible.
