CS34 Rudder Repairs

I damaged the rudder on the 34 during haulout last year:

Damage is not too bad:




First I took a random orbit sander to the damaged areas:



The damage was limited to the fairing on the bottom of the rudder.

Next I mixed up a small batch of  Interlux Watertite Epoxy Filler:


Basically, you mix an equal amount from each tin on a piece of cardboard, and spackle it on:



I let it cure for 3 days (Covid-19 yard restrictions), then sanded it smooth:




Turned out pretty well.
