Installing a fin box on a Stand Up Paddleboard

[@memzehni]

SUP and Jazz... already two of the three best things.

Yes, a plunge router is faster, but we try to keep it simple for first timers who do not have a lot of power tools. The building manual which is free on the internet does describe using a plunge router. And there is something pleasing about using hand tools to create something.

Very well I work my congratulations. regards

[@matthewcavazos4465]

did you fill the board or is it just the skeleton in there

[@OrcaboatsCa]

The internal frame structure stays in as there is no fiberglass inside.

carlos diego urbano melo Graphite is a black powder additive to resins and can be purchased from most any resin supplier.

[@tireballastserviceofflorid7771]

+carlos diego urbano melo Graphite is just that. It's basically a form of pure carbon powder. It acts as a toughener similar to using milled glass fiber. It also can be mixed into the sealer coats making a super slick bottom coating. Lots to learn before jumping in an blowing a fortune.

two words - plunge router.

Why not just leave the masking tape in place after the excess epoxy is removed to keep from damaging the surface of the board?

[@OrcaboatsCa]

I suppose you could, but there will be more hardened epoxy to grind down around the edges. Pulling the tape removes the epoxy when it is uncured.

[@roy.mclean]

Makes sense. I'm a woodworker so I would have shaved the box down with cabinet scraper. Not as fast as the grinder, but more forgiving. Leaves a smooth finish without damaging the skin.
