    Matt, I don't have the answer to your question and I don't want to change your thought process if that is the way you need to go, but as an alternative, have you considered one of the mobile auto body guys who do paintless dent repair? Depending on the scratch, they can do some pretty amazing things with dents.

    I second that. We use a guy out of Hollister pretty regularly. He built a GlaStar. You might be out of his regular range but that's just an excuse to go flying!

    Well, according to Vans catalog, a new F-825-1 is $126. Any sort of "repair" is going to cost that much. I'll have to come clean and say that there are also a couple of rivet holes that got over dimpled and caused a weird border, so it doesn't really hurt my feelings too much to have to just replace it. None of the other "issues" were bad enough for a replacement, but yesterday's indiscretion kind of sealed the deal. I've rebuilt whole elevators for smaller imperfections. I'm just saying... ;-) Matt At 08:25 AM 5/5/2013 Sunday, you wrote: >I second that. We use a guy out of Hollister pretty regularly. He built a GlaStar.
