Well, I've only been able to get 2 days into this season so far, and already messed up my Santa Anas. Plus, I have a chunk out of my kenjas I need to fix. I honestly don't even know how I manage to do this so much, it's not like I'm hucking cliffs. At least none of them are core shots.
Anyway, I'm looking for tips about using ptex candles. I can manage decent repairs when the hole is pretty shallow. But I am having trouble with the small (less than dime sized) holes that are a bit deeper - the ptex just splashes right back out, thinly coating the inside of the hole and leaves a crater. I've tried letting it cool, going back, filling in the hole, repeat. I hold the candle as close as I can. Still leaves a divot in the middle, argh. How do I get it to fill in the hole completely without just mounding up on the sides and leaving the dent?
I know that the best thing to do is to get it repaired at the shop, but if I did that every time I messed up my bases, I'd be putting the shop guys' kids through college. Any suggestions are appreciated.
