I'm (finally) repairing a buckled nose on a board that I used to love, following directions / input I received from an old thread here.
Hi all,
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?
Got a ding near the nose - most damage on bottom, a bit shatter into the rail and into the deck.
This is what the original ding looks like: https://imgur.com/a/nAn1ZOB
I first hand-sanded it with 80 grit.
On the bottom, could see the cloth so I stopped.
On the rail/deck, cloth wasn't fully exposed but it seemed smooth enough. Pics at this stage: https://imgur.com/a/y0IsZKt
