So for some reason, this time around I already did a sanding coat, and hanvt glassed my fins on yet. Is it a big no no to glass fins on the sanding coat stage? whoops
never did glass-ons but it doesn’t sound like
such a disaster to me.
just sand trough till u expose the weave,
glass on your fins and put a new sanding coat where it’s needed.
you can always change your mind and install fcs\probox etc’ plugs.
good luck mate
it’s ok.
the good news is, they’ll break off cleaner.
the bad new is, they’ll break off easier.

Hi originalsin, I would have to agree with Keith. Just sand the hot coat until you see glass but don’t over sand and you should be safe. Mahalo,Larry
hey Larry,
I find your response funny… it’s like shooting your self on your foot
if you were a sleazy salesman you were to find an oportunity to sell him your finboxes as a solution.
you’re a good honest man!
soon , i hope, i will order pro-boxes for my boards, sounds like a winning system.

going for the mechanical bond
dont use grit finer than 60
sanding to the weave/sure
but I dont think its necessary.
the clean break off or sand off
for replacement is the hidden
advantage of fins on hot coat.
if you wanna lay up a bottom
tail reinforcement to overcome
internal foam separation
then glass on the reinforcement
layer…
…ambrose…
there are no mistakes
the door to alternatives lay open.
I just glassed one some fins OVER future fin box’s that I had screwed up… so far so good, took it out three days in chest-head high waves and no problems…
