Loose finbox repair help

without seeing the board its hard to say. If the fin box is wiggling (box is loose in the board, not just fin is loose in the box), and there is enough of a gap to shim it, then you might be able to inject some resin down the gaps. I use large gauge syringes for this kind of project and warm up the resin to get it as runny as possible or it just wont flow out the syringe tip. It is a messy and time consuming project. Use less catalyst than normal because warmed resin kicks faster. Epoxy resin tends to be thicker than poly so it might not even flow out the syringe at all...never tried epoxy.

There's always the remove and replace option, which is worth doing it its a nice board, because if the fin is wigging enough to shim, then water will probably find its way in, and rot out the board from the inside under the box.

 

Leave the box alone, and add a BLEF finne. Should work like magic in cold water

 

It's, no fin to have your fun wiggling side to side

Yup- if it's the loose where the box is installed in the board- then it's ng and either try this^^^^

Or take it somewhere and have them put in a new box.

IF it's just your fin being loose in the box- and the box doesn't move, then you can shim the fin with something- I usually use layers of packaging tape and cut to size and stick on the sides /wrap around bottom of the fun base.

Btw that really stinks. Make sure to take care of it unless it's a junk board. I would opt for replacement of its a nice board.

 

Did you try any other fins in the box to see if any are snug?...someone may have sanded the base of the loose fin.

If that doesn't work, it may mean the board's previous owner sanded down the walls inside the box. Not much you can do about that...other than shim...or replace the box.

 

Bummer dude, go take a dump on the hood of that dudes car

 

Good work dude, eat some Taco Bell for best results on the hood ornament.
