Hi I recently got an AHD free diamond for my wife.
Its got a few battle scars, nicks and cracks and I was wondering what to use to repair it.

As I understand it, the board construction is called protec, and it is sandwich construction wrapped in a very thin asa outer layer. There are a few old attempted repairs but they havent stuck well and the paint is peeling off.

It is fairly light for its age and seems quite strong. There is an impressive amount of carbon underneath, the build quality looks a step up on some of the stuff today.

Any ideas on how to do tidy repairs that will stick?

I've used this for sticking stuff to ASA skin - so maybe it could be used for fixing minor scratches / small holes.

2 part, sets quick, and very strong - you need to be neat with it when applying.
