    What would you use?

    For some reason, my hyperframe panels never could close flush with a battery in the frame. So i asked an ol' machinist co-worker to make a pocket .040" deaper so that the battery fits. I'm ashamed to say that i forgot to compensate for the rad and counter bore when making my mesurments. So he gouged the panel a little. It's not bad, but i would like to fix it without it being noticeable. I'm debating on what product i should use to fill the two gouges. That counter bore gouge isn't too bad, i could always seal it with super glue or a little epoxy, it won't show on the outside because of the screw. It does get a little trickier with the bigger gouge. What would you guys use?

    I know this may not help and it may be a shameless plug for luke, but i would get lukes hyperframe grips. I love mine! They seem to fit just fine on my hyperframe too. Just my $.02

      I would put epoxy on the outside as well. you can sand epoxy easily, so just sand it down until it follows the original contours. If it dries clear, that may be enough,if not hit it with some black paint.

        epoxy it, then spray some tool dip on them
        it will hide the epoxy and it makes the grips a little softer

          You can use dye to color the epoxy, or just buy colored epoxy. Fill and let harden for twice as long as recommended, then sand it down flush. Good to go.
