    I'm poor, found an old board at a friends who doesn't surf so decided to do a little work on it. I cut out 2 boxes to get the fin in snug and align it with the setup. Was about to start with some resin I have but thought I'd ask first. Should I just use lots of resin and make layers of that until its solid or should I use some cloth as well? hmm..

    CLOTH!!! Resin alone will fail almost immediately. I've learned by trial and lots of errors.
