I just finished repairing some dings and sanded them down to where they are perfecly flush with the rest of the board.
My question is how do a restore the glossy finish on this section after sanding?[/list]

If your board has a gloss finish you'll need to polish it! Car polish can be used for this.

There is a product I belive it is called suncure. It cost about $8 for a tube and has fiberglass mixed in. You let it sit out in the sun and it cures in about 8 minutes. From there you sand it smooth. The down fall is that it does yellow quicker then mixing up your own fresh batch of ressin and catalyst.

suncure is ok but for a a more seriouse ding you can get the suncure stuff that contains the reisen and sheets of quality fiberglass. i used it to pretty much fix up a pretty battered board. The only prob i have with the mixed suncure is that it has a tendacy to crack after a while.

I've used Solarez and similar suncure types for small dings for at least 20 years or so and never had a problem with it cracking if I took my time to fix it properly in the shade, get all the air out and let it sun cure for the right amount of time.
That being said for something over 1/2-3/4 inch or so and deep, I'd use the real stuff and fix it properly.
