My front wing kissed a big rock.
this resulted in a deep long scratch up to 3mm deep.
what is the easiest way to make a decent repair?
is epoxy the way to go?
or are there other options?

Try blade putty, definitely the easiest

I've used this. It sands well, is easy to use and available from Bunnings. It's easy to fix scratches and I've used it to rebuilt a split smashed tip. That repair was still going fine 300 hours later when I pulled it apart and did a full repair on it (carbon wrap, peel ply, vacuum)

Others swear by JB Weld. I've never used that.

3mm is very deep I'd be going strong like resin with milled fibre or JB Weld
