I can contemplate making props by hand without fear of the consequences (we won't get into the fear of the work involved).

But the idea of repairing a prop just gives me the heebee jeebees.  I wouldn't touch a job like that with a ten foot pole.

Best repair for a prop is to break it in half and give it new life mixing epoxy. You get some use out of it and no one gets hurt.

I dunno -- carbon fiber splinters are about the nastiest I've ever encountered.

Yes
Human bodies will not break the carbon down and waste it like it can with Glass.
Keep up with every shred of CF and dispose of.

I should take my own advice more often

Hmmm makes me wonder..
Hamilton standard fixed and repaired blades on props. Unfortunatly the repairs were responsible for the eventual crash and loss of human lives in a few crashes.
Seems like a very costly problem.
Replacement seems far safer even if it is more in dollars and cents than trying to fix such an item.
Why too much going on to risk a fix that could fail and take an eye out. The fragment are moving like bullets.

I remember in the day of my part in F2C, we would buzz the tips of a fibre glas prop.  At the field the CA came in handy for fixing the frayed ends.  If there was an obvious crack further in on the prop blade, they were no longer used.
