I'm assuming it's a lead keel.

I did spot repairs on my lead keel in 2003, and it was a good idea but didn't take.
<http://www.wbryant.com/StellaBoat/hauls/0307/haul.htm> Perhaps I messed up.

A few years later I stripped the whole thing down and reworked it from bare lead, and that has been perfect ever since. <http://www.wbryant.com/StellaBoat/hauls/0604/index.htm>

Now, I can honestly say that the best way to deal with exposed lead is to sand it down clean and immediately sand resin into the lead. Then prime and paint.

While scraping and sanding the hull of our 30mk1 I knocked out a couple of
(fairly?) large chunks of fairing on the keel. I can see metal.

Can anyone advise me on the proper repair procedure please? Should I grind
it all off or patch? What should I use?
