Scarf Joint Sanding Woes

Posted by: Ted Fink on November 22, 1999

I'm building a Chesapeake 17 from plans, and am at the point of readying the panels for stitching. At the scarf joints, I sanded the epoxy blobs down to smooth them out with a ROS while the panels were still flat. Unfortunately, on one of the side panels, I sanded a little too aggressively and took a very small (about 1/2" x 1/2") area of the top veneer layer down to the second layer. Does anyone have suggestions on the best way to patch this up or perhaps covering it over with veneer strips. I do not plan to paint but will leave the kayak all natural wood. Thanks. Ted
