I recently was gifted a Harbour Rapier from my brother. Slightly used, no dings but has some shatters in it, mostly on the rails. I would like to repair it properly before it goes in the water, but I am not real familiar with best materials and techniques. The board is Polyurethane foam, with a Clear Volan glass job. I would appreciate solid advice for properly making the repairs as inconspicuous as possible. I have had many conflicting suggestions on how to approach this repair. If there is anyone out there who does this sort of repair for a living and has vast experience in such matters I would sure appreciate some advice or a link to a good online tutorial. I am retired and have plenty of time on my hands, and have lots of woodworking/finishing experience in case that matters.
Thank you
