Thanks everyone for their input. I'm thinking along the same lines, having to replace the complete sheeting. But I'm also not comfortable with a prop up front that can develop a hidden failure eg you don't know that the sheeting is delaminating until it is visible from the outside or is already peeling off. I have bought a Bolly BOS3 and the approval request is under way.I think a wooden prop should be covered with clear glass or varnish so that any damage to the core or cover is visible (check out the Jabiru prop manual). This GT might just become a very expensive clock

My name is Chris and you did indeed speak to me about your GT prop.
I recall that at the time I advised you that the best person to speak to would be Dieter to repair the prop as he has the facilities to do so.
In general a damaged prop should where possible go to the factory or to a authorized prop repair shop. In your case a person such as Dieter who also manufactures wood propellers.
