Hey Dean did you light a fire under the van.. That should warm things up a bit..

You must be pissed off with all these Easterly winds..

Check out my high tech solar powered curing oven
Bloody bush mechanic!





I did exactly the same thing with my board but my oven resembled a station wagon.
Come summer boards will be curing in 24 hours with the heat I get in my car.

As far as fins plugs go, Shapers do a plug that is perfectly compatible with FCS and
some other fins and it is a one plug system. Also the newer speed fin plugs are FCS
compatible and are less likely to rip out. The shapers plug has a better finish once
installed IMO.

You probably know this but plug repairs pretty much go like this:
FCS 95%, other brands combined 5%. But in saying that FCS is in probably 90% of boards although this is changing slowly.

I hope you've factored in buying another high tech solar oven into the $1000 board price for when you go into production

Cam, by the looks of the back of that van, Dean could do a contra deal. Give the guy a board for a similar van, straight swap.
