sticking up from the face, and then use some epoxy to reinforce the
paddle (a trim-and-spackle approach) >>

I found Marine Tex did a fantastic job on my paddle and it sands down to 
invisible if you do it well. Just mend it and then sand all the extra off. 
I'd leave the raw part until then. More for the Marine Tex to bond to.
