Board is a bit rough but I think for being still in high school and having it be my first time ever shaping a board it’s not too bad.

Looking good man. What prop are you going for?

Probably going to use a flite board prop drilled out.

Hello Everyone! I have made some progress on my board and am getting very close to glassing. I plan to use threaded inserts to secure the lid, should I install the inserts before or after glassing? Also should I drill holes and fill them epoxy to make a plug that the insert goes in instead of the foam? Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
