Do you have an easy way to fix chips on top ply near the edge? Mainly I just want to make it smooth so the damage don't get larger and the rubbers can still stick to that area. Thanks!

I don't know, never tried it but I'm guessing - if the chip is not too big and is just .5-1 mm of the top ply, put a couple of drops of super glue, let it dry, then put couple more drops and after its all dry, use sandpaper to smoothen. This should prevent further chipping. You can also try hot glue instead.
I never used it for blades but I did it with rubbers (just gluing, not gluing and sanding :-)). Earlier this year I glued a new sheet of MX-P on my blade and, the very first day of playing with it, I hit the corner of the table with pretty hard. About 3 mm length crack formed involving the rubber and sponge. It wouldn't have made any difference in playing as the crack was on the edge, but I thought over time it'll get bigger and will move centripetally. So I super glued the flaps of rubber and sponge around the crack (carefully not accidently superglueing them to blade). After that I used the rubber for 6 months with no problem. Not tested on blades before. I'd do it if need arise, I like experimenting |

Wood filler is all you need. I repaired a couple tiny nicks on my black tag Acoustic several years ago... Still looks amazing and you can see the end result in my FS post :)

Just make sure it is the kind of filler that will dry and can be sanded like PlasticWood. Some fillers stay soft and don't dry. For deep gouges where you might want some reinforcement in strength, you can mix sawdust with epoxy and make your own "putty. The epoxy will be harder to sand and messier. So better to use regular filler on the small and medium blemishes.
