At my home crag in the last few years there has been extensive rebolting happening. Consequently, there are almost as many chopped bolts as there are new bolts. Although my feelings towards rebolting “manky” bolts are mixed, I wish to try to fix the scarred rock some how. My question is, what is the best way to patch a chopped bolt. I understand some people use a mixture of resin and rock dust but I’m curious about what type of resin to use. Any tips would be appreciated.

Folks use everything from bondo to two part epoxy. You can get bondo in a color that might closely match the rock. Epoxy is available in small, easy to mix packets from loctite, I think. Mix with some fine rock dust, voila. Take a bit of dust with you, and after the patch job, rub the wet glue with dust. Good patch jobs make it hard to tell there was ever a bolt/hole there.

Why did you post this question twice? You already have a few answerers on your other thread http://www.rockclimbing.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=28776 L.J.
