epoxy and polyester

can you laminate a board with epoxy then put the leash plug and fin box in with polyester?

Yep…

Yes! and the polyester will melt your styro core on contact,

OR,

if you have a urethane blank, the deck plug and finbox will adhere to the foam

and stringer but not to the lamination, so figure on a couple of solid

turns and a tug or two on the leash before they pull out…

Have fun proving me wrong!
