dagger boat tip - repair

hi

- okay  I managed to run my dagger board  along the  bottom of the  slip...

anyway, there's an inch missing from the tip. The top of the curve where the forward and  traling edge meet.

I am quite good at repairing  the trailing edges with expoxy and  filler mix, but the  tip presents more of a  challenge.  I guess I tape acetate sheets in place then shape/fair the harden resin afterwards?

Any tips?

(pardon the pun!).

If I can just add to Webmuppet's post;

To ensure a strong repair, it is probably necessary to make it 'worse' before you make it better.

It's difficult to get a good lasting repair at a narrow tip if you just rely on the narrow contact area of the cross-section. I find that by taking it back to a clean line across the width, then chamfer back both sides at around 45 to 60 degrees, before using the epoxy filler repair. It should withstand substantially more lateral force without it shearing straight off again [at the slightest accidental knock].
