Title: Filler for Bats
Post by: PM7 on August 01, 2010, 12:48:24 PM

Chaps,

Ive removed stickers from my AS bat and there seems to be a tiny strip(0.5cm) of wood missing close to the splice.
What can I use to fill this in as ive always heard of filler being used but never seen it.
Is it best not to bother at all or shall I fill this in and what should I use?  ???

Cheers, P

Wood filler would be the obvious suggestion but if it's on the splice it not going to effect the performance of the bat

Filler will not improve anything so leave natural.
