sand it first DJ?
I wouldn't because it will be less noticeable after the repair.. You'll end up with a dull sanded area on a nice gloss paddle.
If you plan to sand the surface flush afterwards then yes.. I'd give it a light sand first to help the Aroldite stick (it should stick well anyway)
btw.. If you're going to sand it after I wouldn't use the 5 minute Aroldite because it seems to stay slightly rubberry.. I'd use the full strength stuff.
