I tend to never throw anything out i think i might someday use. Its a blessing & a curse. Today it was a blessing. I've had these chunks of foam laying around the shop (& getting in the way) forever.
Peices a little short but i will improvise on the rest of the indent. Saved the logo, might be able to scan it.
What you are doing for that board, (which I would not attempt) is a tribute to your determination, AND your skill. Bravo !
Thnx Bill no humility just honesty to say more determination than skill at this point, but that's one reason I jumped into this, I really WANT to improve my repair skills.
The reinforced fill coat is getting in my head. Instead of doing that in an additional step, why not add that extra layer of 6oz during the laminating process. Wouldn't it still serve the same purpose: to get sanded away but 'fill' in any voids, etc?
I'm not against the idea, I've done it before, but only when color work or fabric was underneath the lam and I didn't want to sand into that layer. If it's clear, why a secondary step?
Also, beautiful work on those boards. What category would they fit under: repair or restoration?
I do a lot of my sanding in this situation with a sanding block & 60 grit.
Adding this one to the rotation, 10-6, 35 lbs, melted shrunken foam.

Send me your dinged, damaged, and yellowed.

It's not an additional step, the fill coat, or hot coat, is a basic necessary step that can't be avoided.
Restoration has a different connotation, so I say remedial work.
Getting a little better on my color matching
