Any suggestions for repairing a fiberglass nosecone with a chipped tip? The damage was from some of the smaller kids handling it at a local science show, not a ballistic landing. As you can see from the photos, it's chipped through the fiberglass layer.
Some ideas I had were to "build" a tip with JB-Weld and sand/paint it back to shape, saw the broken portion off off and try to install a bolt-through metal nosecone tip similar to many of the filament wound tips (would look cool, but not sure where I'd buy the metal part or how difficult it would be to get it aligned though), or just leave it be and fly it as-is, hoping the fiberglass doesn't delaminate from the tip during flight.
For reference, it's a 4" OD 4:1 nosecone, non-filament wound fiberglass. Max load on it will be from a M-1378 briefly taking it to Mach 1.2.
