Laser Blade Repair

Hi All, New here. I have to make some repairs on my daughters centerboard. What products have worked best? Should I use West System Epoxy to cover the foam core? What is best for filling and fairing? Thanks, NSD

Matthew's dad repaired the centerboard by using West epoxy and fiberglass, following Gouvernail's instructions. It looks great!

If you just have dents, using car body filler and paint over it with white Krylon or other spray paint.

I recently repaired daggerboard (and deck) using West System.

My repairs are documented here:

I used West epoxy with #407 low density filler. 410 would probably be better,
but either is fine.

If you post photos, we can give more specific advice.
