single fin box installation

hi! i am about to finish the lamination of my board and i want to install a single fin. my question is when do i put the box in? before hotcoat or after? thanks for the answers

Install that baby after you do the Hot Coat. Install, let it set and grind down lip on box. Clean up and do a gloss coat. 

Hope all goes well. Just get in there and go for it

you simply put it in with some resin and filler or should i put fiberglass in the slot?

I do them before the hotcoat and use a strip of fiberglass in the slot.  Grind it down.  Cap the edge with a ‘football’ piece of glass or a panel.  Fare that into the board then hotcoat. Don’t forget to tape off the opening!  Mike

Also, not trying to be a jerk but this has been covered many times on the site. You might want to use the search feature before posting. Thanks.

I say F… the archives.  Ask questons.  Check you tube, too.  Mike
