Hey all, the rails of my board got a few scuff marks on them (not entirely sure how as I generally keep my boards fairly shipshape, store in bags etc but there you go) so I decided to ding repair just in case the glass was compromised. By 'scuff' I mean the resin color is scuffed there exposing the fiberglass weave, though it does not feel soft/exposed.
A couple almost-comical questions ensue:
1) Do scuffs (eg, no visible shatter or crack, but scuff in the resin color revealing fiberglass texture) even need to be patched over?
2) I used Ding-All and suffice it to say the repairs do not look/feel incredible (despite combo of guidance from the package and the Ding Repair Scriptures). Since I'm wondering if they were even necessary in the first place-- eg, the water tightness of the board may not even have been compromised-- what's a good way to get these unattractive band-aids off? At places the cure is so brittle/poor that I've been able to pick lil pieces away; other patches seem more firmly attached.
Don't wanna make things worse while trying to undo what may have been a kooky repair job in the first place- please advise! Thanks (& please note I do not have a power sander).

Since I can't delete the original query, I'll just state the obvious: razor blades are great!
And apparently the mysterious scuff marks aren't my doing but rather a preexisting burn-through from the sanding job, as they're sealed underneath the hot coat.
Sounds like you've got it figured out.
That which can be assorted without evidence was read in an illegal magazine.
