I would call Catto and ask what they recommend. I'm sure they have some idea about what sort of tolerance they allow.
If it's not major, I think that blending out the sharp edges and going back with epoxy filler is probably what they will suggest.

Ok as is.
Just to close on this, Catto said it’s ok as is but I could fill it with JB Weld if I wanted. I will fill it.

I'd send it back to Catto and have them repair. I had a similar issue recently and decided to send it back. When they inspected the prop they found cracks beginning in the nickel leading edge. I'm glad I sent it off - its all refurbished and now like new again. Good for another 10 years.

I repaired my prop chips with jb as directed. After 10 years I spent the $ and sent it back to Catto for factory redo. While I love the prop....the factory redo didnt last a few weeks. My repair and paint jobs were better quality then theirs...lasted longer. It was expensive and unless huge issues, just do it yourself in my opinion. Expected a way better job.
