I've got a crack in the nose of my F2 Powerglide (F2's version of a Go) It's runs about 6 cm around the nose of the board. The Powerglide has a plastic shell rather than your usual board construction. I've heard you can get some sort of putty from Bunnings which fixes it up nicely but I can't remember the name of the stuff. Any suggestions?

Knead-it is ok for a temp repair, but I found it to be a bit on the weak side. If you bump the nose again you'll probably crack it.. then you'll have to remove all the knead-it and start again..

If you call into your nearest boat chandlery you should be able to find a product called "epifill" by International (100mL ~ $20). It's an epoxy filler that's pretty easy to use and it's a bit stronger than the knead-it.

Just make sure you prep the repair properly with a good sanding and clean it thoroughly.
