Does anyone know where I can find information on repairing nicks in an MT
composite prop (or any composite prop for that matter). I picked up a
several rock nicks over in Baja and used some JB Weld to repair the prop
that seems to be working but not sure if this is the best way.

Mark,
Download the manual of the MT site and it will give you methods of
repair and what might have to be sent back to the shop.

THE BAJA! I hope you type up a trip report and let us know where you went, and which places you liked.
There were 5 planes that left on Saturday from my airport to the Baja for 10 days. They do a "boys" trip every year. It sure sounds fun.

I would call MT directly. They may say don't worry about it at all. Alot of times it is difficult to keep the epoxy in the nicks.
I've talked to them at Oshkosh and they said it really depends on the size and if there are any cracks and if there are cracks the direction of the cracks can be critical.
They get concerned if there are cracks that go in the direction of the chord but are less worried about cracks that go along the prop.
Good luck and post some pictures.

Use 5 minute Epoxy.

It's use and the acceptable repair information is in the manual you received with the propeller.
You know where the manual is. It is in the little paper envelope with the other propeller documents, that you stored in a safe place.� Smile
