Did I mess up my spinner?

[BLittleton]

I made a measuring mistake and cut away more of the spinner/blade gap than I wanted on both sides. The gap is about 5/8” and I can get a fingertip in there. Is this too much gap such that I need a new spinner and start over? Or is there no real penalty other than perhaps looking a little goofy?

Thanks.

Probably never notice it, but, how about learning a new skill?
“Scarf” a new piece in there.

Easy fix with fiberglass. research scarf joint.

Thanks for the recommendations for the scarf. I am no fan of fiberglass work, and I would probably make it worse. Plus wouldn't a botched wad of poor glass work just make it very unbalanced?

Finish it out the best you can and as long as there's no interference with the prop, you can address it later. You might learn enough about fiberglass work between now and then to come back to it later with more confidence...

This^^!! But remember, we all have these. Well - the mortal builders. And few will ever notice.

And in the grand scheme of things, you might be the only one that ever knows it's there. Nobody will ever notice.

Go look at a factory bird. You’ll feel better.
More gap is better than chaffing, so I’d leave it alone, make it even and move on.

Thanks all for the inputs. It's a "feature"...moving on.
