hotcoating will fill the weave and unless you have a dry lam, you wont see it anymore

 Hey Jesus, good reference with the probox! I checked it out and I really like the adjustabilty you get with them.  Now my next question... are there any signs after laminating to know It turned out ok? Like I can still see the cloth. (used a blue tint) When does the fiberglass look go away? After hotcoat and sanding?

futures go under the glass.

there are videos at foamez.com that show how to do them.

Try probox…

thanks guys, gonna go with futures.

YES.

what kind of fin box are you using?

that would decide if you install them before or after or your choice.

Which fin boxes are you using? Some go in before and some after.
