So, my weekend ended abruptly after a catapult and a nose break as per the picture. I'm happy with the epoxy resin advice I got from the forums and this will scrub up micky mouse with a bit of sandpaper. The question is to paint or not? its an old board and the colour probably wont match so is it worth it? if so is there any off the shelf paint (or off the net) that I can put on epoxy. Or should I just leave it as a battle scar? Cheers Jason

I'd just get a can of elcheapo enamel spray paint from the hardware store.

Thanks Richie, as it happens I have a can in the shed. Should be right to spray tomorrow ready for the water Saturday morning. Cheers Jason

Jason, getting some white acrylic from Supercheap would be better. It will touch dry in about 15 mins. The Supercheap brand is in a tall can and are about 10 dollars each. I use it on all my repairs now.

Enamel is good for window frames however.

Yep at Redcliffe, hoping to get down late morning/early arvo for run. Gotta be in town by 5pm. Got some new gear and some fitness, so hoping to get amongst it this season. Would be good to catch up.
