hello,

routing the fin boxes on the foam? or after the lamination is done before the hot coats?
how do you guys do it?
i´ve seen both ways but always do the routing on the foam.
Cheers and good waves

Yes, I also laminate for fin boxes before glassing. Its just easier and less messy that way. I can’t recall doing it the other way, except when I’m adding fin boxes to an existing board, but maybe I have. Its do-able either way, but just seems cleaner and easier to router just foam, no fiberglass.
