When you get a good sized nick on an aluminum prop do you tap it flat or file it off ?

I don't have a device that will allow me to balance the prop correctly.
So it's either replace with a new one or take it to a shop.
An out of balance prop puts a lot of stress on the shaft
and lower unit which can lead to seal and bearing failures.

The preferred method would be to weld on aluminum to fill the nick and then grind it fair.
