Allen - Do you mind telling me what filler you used to rebuild that fin - I'm very impressed with what you have done. Thanks.

Thanks Marcus,,,the stuff i used was Evo-Stick Hard and Fast metal epoxy putty,,i got mine from Wilkinsons but you can get it at Halfords etc
 
Thank you very much - I have wanted something like that for a long time but didn't know the best stuff to get. I have a backlog of projects which have been shelved as have not wanted to mess them up. I will start one soon and show the results.
