I would trim the tape starting near the leading edge and diverging. The fill with flox or JB Weld and sand with a finger nail file then 200 and 400 grit. 
Just me. 
Best.

I'm trying to decide how critical that is - can I just JB Weld it, or should I remove the tape, repair the prop, and install new tape.  Picture attached.
