Hi all did my first ding repaire last night - a rail shater - did the best wax job I have ever done bought a brand new leash, took the board off the roof then boom it blew half way across Cayton Bay carpark. atleast I dont av to dry it out.
Any way I need it for this thursday coz am off to pembrokshire, didnt have time to get some one else to do the repaire and didnt want to pay £20 per ding = £40 (am a cheap skate) and also thought this long board is going to get dinged to xxxx so i should learn what to do.
Its a polyester board - i got some resin, hardener and glass sheet (think i shoud av got cloth?)
Sanded the cracks back, masked off, put activated resin on, put glass strips on, more resin then leaft to cure over night.
I think I have made a few errors.

Mestake No 1 - tryed to do both repaires with the same batch of resin and didnt have anuf time
mestake No 2 - put to much hardener in resin went off to quick
Mestake No. 3 I think - you can still see the glass cloth does this mean the resin has not boned properly?
Can any on advise how to finish this off - I do plan to do a nicer repire when I come back from me trip, how do i get the red coloure back is this in a gel goat i thiought the color was painted on the foam???
Any advise would be aprreciated cheers
