My flapperons have been damaged at the inboard leading edge during wing folding, etc. What's the common fix?

Best to post some pics of the damage to get better quality feedback.
Jon,
surprised that there was only one reply. local guy damaged his flaperon on the leading edge during a ground loop. He cleaned up the dents and applied some epoxy and microballoons. Cured and sanded with a second application where necessary and they are hardly noticable after repaint.
I figured the very inboard leading edge would be damaged very often by not taking care when folding the wings. My damage is about three inches of the LE adjacent to the belcrank rib on both flaperons. May rivet a scab around the area.
