Alright well I put in silicon in my fin holes thinking i was not going to use fins but now I wanna start using them. Does anyone know what materials to use or how to remove it? Also does anyone know how to remove the filled in fin hole on the integrity skate? Is it necessery to remove it or no?

with regards to the integrity skate- what filled in fin hole? are you talking aboaut the plastic plug that is in the fin hole? if so, take a screwdriver and shove it in the hold from the opposite side so that it pushes the plug back out. voila!

oh yeah, and im sure its only necessary to remove it if you wanna use a fin.

tap it, thats what I had to do with my wakeboard because the fins werent screwing in all they way. Just get a tap and it will slowly eat away at it and make the holes nice and screwable... yes scewable. make sure you dont go too big though.

you dont need to fill the integrity holes do you? it wont absorb like wood would?
