Hey Guys,

I am shaping my first 6’5" EPS shortboard. Hopefilly i’ll recieve my FCS 2 plugs in a few days, just got epoxy resin and fiberglass. What do you suggest, installing the plugs before or after glassing? Any pros and cons?

Thanks for help!

If you use the search function you should be able to pull up plenty of posts on the subject. I like to install them after the first layer of glass but before the tail patch, or vice-versa. depending on how you do it.  IIRC FCS II are designed to go under glass, should be instructions on their website.
