yeah I get it…
Back yard guy can drill a hole and install a plug…super easy…or drill a hole through the longboard box. Not as easy but still super easy…Or pull your hair out to become a master woodworker.
Nice work balsa and huck…Not easy…not for me…not for a surfboard that is getting loaned to beginners…and …
D-Pan, I have had good results using the lightest weight, 15 grams per square meter, mullberry paper from a local art supply store. Always test a new material before using it on a board to be sure it works.

Dan,
Loops made easy: Wet out your roving, take a circular piece of fiberglass cloth, wet out the cloth on a piece of paper, take your wet out roving and cut several short strips of roving and place them into your cloth like you are making a small taco for lunch or dinner or drunken night snack. Place your taco on you lam roving face down…the fiberglass will keep your roving in place and will be a ton easier to sand. You can even have some small control as to the shape of your loop. This works with UV resin well. Drill hole after your hotcoat or before your wetsand gloss.
Enjoy
Dave
