Because of the nature of this method being simplistic and focused around practicality only, the blade is not gonna look good when finished. The purpose of it is to reinforce the structure, get it even, straight and get it playing how it used to before getting damaged.

This Viscaria needed some love. I could have replaced the whole top ply, but that would mean removing the handle. So, there were more things that could go wrong. The transition is very smooth and a new sealing will prevent more splintering in the future.
when I changed rubbers, I took off the rubber but surface of the bat ( around the edge) came out , although it is not much, I am not sure it is good for using it, if I repair it with wood filler and sand it, would it be ok ?
