This is probably better in that it's not liquid. I've used it for a few repairs and does a great job.

Forget about all these solutions, I have found the ultimate methode to repair small dings easily and efficiently.

You need:

- get ant UV-curing resin kit: Solarez, Phix Dr, ... (better if they have some fiberglass in it like Solarez)
- an UV lamp, can be found for quite cehap on amazon for instance http://www.amazon.com/MaxSale-Flashlight-Torch-Keyring-Silver/dp/B00D2UHGIO
- clear PVC adhesive tape (the ones thick and soft work best)
- some sanding papers of various grits for water sanding (the black ones)

Quick method:
- sand where the resin will go, just enough for the resin to stick (remove the paint/varnish)
- apply just enough resin to have as little sanding to do as possible
- light with the UV lamp. 5 to 20s later (depending on the lamp power) you can go surfing!
- water sand when you have time

Proper method:
- dry the ding, some hot air helps.
- delimit the repair with the tape
- sand what is not masqued
- apply just enough resin
- tape over it, making the extra resin flow above the masking tape
- light with the UV lamp to harden
- remove tape, water-sand.

Benefits: Not having to mix the resin (no buggles), having all the time of the world to position the resin and let it bond to the repair (better than putty), plus being able to harden it at will without moving the board (no more runoffs), make it a killer solution, and can be done at night or in the cold.

For deep repairs, you can apply in multiple pass, to avoid resin overheating and be sure the UV light reaches the deep corners.

There is another product that boat builder use ..International .....EPIFILL .its a two pack and take 14 hours
you can wet your finger after 20 minutes and smooth it off ..no sanding .
I've. Used it on my windsurfer for a few years now ..doesn't crack .it is similar to a putty when mixed .

I second Colas' method. Repaired 3 small dings to my naish mana with Solarez. Great stuff easy to use. I used gladwrap pulled tight over the uncured Solarez (use tape to tension the gladwrap) to achieve a smooth finish, no sanding required. Took a total of 2 minutes! All up. This was the method Phil from Point Leo trigger bros showed me.

I'm a lazy solarez user, an easy permanent fix. Just dab, cover with plastic food rap and place in the sun.

Colas's more professional technique is well worth the effort.

What he said. Don't forget to sand it to roughen it up so the resin will stick. If it comes off just patch it again. Super easy stuff to use.

PS In the days of polyester boards it was easy to get a cosmetically perfect finish. With epoxy boards with painted coatings and stuff I could never get the final blended finish. For bigger repairs I get a professional to do it (Better than buying gear and resins and spray paint and protective gear and all that.)For well used boards I go for the "Frankenstein" look. The repairs are visible and it looks a bit mongrel but it goes hard and I love it (a bit like the missus.)
