Now I have done some repair of edges with smaller chunks, nicks, stuff like that - using wood filler. At the same time, I have one here which is on a Yamaha marching snare drum (high tension) which is significantly bigger than my past repairs.
This chunk is 1 inch wide and a half inch deep. Could you all recommend a method/product to use on this. Of course one could just cut it down and recut the edge, but I would rather avoid doing that for consistent/uniform lug positioning.
If using a filler (best brand?) then would I slap it all on at once and then let it dry over several days before forming? OR should I apply a layer at a time, allowing drying in between? You get the idea of what I am asking.......
Once dry, is it safe to use a router to reform, or should it all be done by hand?
Like I said, never repaired a shell with this challenging level of damage.
Thanks so much,
John
