Cut away the delaminated glass and sand an area around the ding (bottom too). Tape off the sanded area around the ding and tape off stringer; trim with razor blade. Mix filler and resin/hardener to make a thick paste that won't flow and fill in the ding completely. Let cure to B stage and pull tape. Let fully cure then sand to shape. Re-tape off the sanded area. Laminate with one 6oz patch just bigger than the size of the ding and a second patch to cover the entire sanded area, lapping the nose onto the bottom. Make a relief cut in the cloth at the tip of the stringer if you need to in order to get the lap down flat. Let cure, then sand the edges and laps fair. Re-tape if you have to, then hotcoat. I make sure the ding is level, and do the hotcoat in two steps... deck side, then bottom... pulling the tape when the resin hits the B stage. Sand it with 80, 100, 150, 220, 320, 400 wet, 600 wet.

It's not going to win any beauty contents, but I followed your advice the best I could with my materials and she turned out alright, LB! Went for a nice session today and that dig ain't leaking a bit. Thanks my man!

Zero - I ended up using Sun Cure on a few little cracks and those suckers are nicely sealed, too.

I always bring a tube of Solarez when I go to the coast. Better than duct tape for quick fixes. Then I just chunk it out with a knife when I do the actual repair.

I like suncure for quick fixes. Little cracks that don't warrant a full on repair or if there's swell and the damaged board is what I want to ride the next day. Of course the severity of the damaged comes into play here.

Whenever there's exposed foam though, doing a real repair is always the call.
