A method of remanufacturing a turbine blade having a platform includes placing a puck against a surface of the platform. The method may include electrical discharge machining an interface between the puck and the platform and brazing the puck to the platform. A total radial thickness of a finally remanufactured platform of the remanufactured turbine blade is greater than an initial radial thickness of the platform before remanufacturing the turbine blade.
