Hi
I've made a search on the forum but found nothing specific.
I have a pair of old plastic Omer fins (Millenium Winter) and I'm thinking of adding a few layers of glass fiber on them.
I have absolutely no experience with glass fiber and even only approximately know what it looks like.
I need some help. :)
 
If they're not stiff enough, just swap the blades for the standard milleniums or the new millenium runner. Then you can experiment with your old blades to your heart's content.
 
instead of trying to fix your plastic fin, u can use it as a mold. When u r done, u will have the same size and shape fiberglass fin like your old Omer.. ;)

Why ?

----------------------------------------------------

because I thought it was easier than making the whole blade, and I intended it to be a sort of training before making my own complete fins.

so I'll post another subject about how making fiber glass blades.

Thanks anyway
