Can anyone repair this??

Well, I glued the chip back into place. The first photo is after glueing the chip back in. The second photo is after I cleaned it up with some 2000 grit paper, and the 3rd photo is the finished product. It doesn't look too bad but I would rather it disappear. Now I am thinking of dabbing a very small amount of clear epoxy around the edge of the chip to fill in the depression. Any thoughts???

Use medium super glue.

Put a drop of black dye in your epoxy, just a small build up, then spin it and take it down, buff it out. Brian.

I would suggest black CA. You can apply it much thinner than you can epoxy - well, at least I can.

I've taken a new black sharpie and tapped the tip all around the edge to blend it in. You might want to try that before the clear epoxy.

Can you give me some tips on how to buff this. I don't have a lathe, but I do have a dremel with some hard cloth buffing pads. I think that I can get fairly precise with this. Would I use any type of compound??
