once the wholes are patched and smoothed with whatever you’ve got ( not critical ) it’s time to lay out your glass. this is structural and is worth planning out. i always pretend it’s really important and not just a surfboard, and use splints as inspiration, and also doing it in such a way that if it breaks again, it won’t be in that spot- so ‘over engineering’ may also be inspiration. in this case I’m lining the break with several small patches of fiberglass to start with, with the idea that I’ll cover the whole thing with at least one more if not 2 sheets over the offending area. photo shows the small dried patches along the break. also I’ve made a little dam, along the spot where the aluminum splint went in, to minimize messy over flow- which means more sanding which there;ll be a lot of soon…
