Newguy - I hate to be critical, but apart from not looking good - that fix does not look water tight (see how the glass matting is exposed, and also the edges are lifting).

Given that you've already had a go yourself why not dig it out, correct the plug orientation and start again? May as well...

PS - it looks like you've got resin inside both of those plugs... (and that new plug looks strange - it seems too small and is recessed).

hey mate,
looks dodgy but totally cool as those fcs plugs can be a bit tricky to put in properly without the FCS jig and a router etc. as for sanding, I wouldn't bother as a sander is a tricky beast and will eat fiberglass and foam like a shark if you let it get away. if you want you could just hat sand with some wet and dry 180 grit or so.
otherwise, just surf it!

I agree. Nice first effort. They are tricky. I normally use 180 grit to start then 240 wet n dry to finish.

that is just a farked effort. imagine if you were old and wise..you would have the knowledge and the skills to fix the problem..or be rich enough to just burn it and order another custom...lonboard

LOL - funny... [}:)]

Bloody hell!

Use an ond fin as a jig.
Don't worry about the orientation of the plug, but not a recessed one.

Trust me, I surf better than I repair
