Bill,

 

There is a video on Propeller Field Repair in the hints for homebuilders section on the EAA website.  It appears to have an easy and well proven method to make repairs like you may need.

Let me throw this out for comment:

My wood prop has rain-induced pits in the outer 3 to 4 inches of the fiberglass leading edge.  (Something about going to Florida.................)

Previous encounters of the aerial aqua variety have simply stripped the paint off.  This time I have actual pitting.

SOMEONE suggested a thin coating of JB Weld (thinned with alcohol????), then sand and paint.

Anyone have a better idea?
