Well, my first 'blemish' on my new carbon fuselage : ( Looks like 'minor' scrapes or dings on right edge. Anything to be done to them? I'm a carbon 'rookie'. Will be using this in sea water. (See attached photo)
Thank you!

Crazy glue and baking soda will fill those nicely. Google that method. Then use a black paint pen and lightly sand

That will be the first of many and those scratches and dings are inconsequential. I wouldn't worry about it till you have a lot of them and when you do get some bondo filler from Auto Zone and use that to fill in.
In the meantime you can sand them down to buff out the edges. Start with 200 to knock off the sharp pieces then go to 600 then 800. I finish mine with 1500 when I am doing the full Bondo job.
