Yes use it. Do it. Keep it out of the landfill. Keep us posted. Want to see the result. Lowel
Thanks for the encouragement , Lowel !
The last board I shaped , glassed , and made fins for , was in 2009 , from memory ? ( Either the ’ Prawn ’ , or the 'Bushfire Fish ’ … I forget WHICH ! )
Cheers !

…deck , pre-glassing …
Red , yellow , green , and blue pigment , on bottom .
Green and a little yellow and red mixed into the deck lam coat.
Bottom swirls…
Next step will be installing the fin box. And FCS side plug(s)
Then surforming , and sanding …
It may not be ready on my birthday ( January 3rd ) , but , see how I go …
It’s been FUN , recycling and making a tiny ( for me , anyway !) board !
Yewwww , STOKED !!
Cheers !

Rails have been surformed now , in preparation for overall sanding.
Side plug positions , and finbox , have been marked out , too …
Fin(s) positioning…
I (finally !!) installed the finbox , a couple of days ago !
It has also been sanded , deck and bottom , since these photos
Next …
to buy a ’ holesaw attachment ’ , for my electric drill , so I can install the two (one each side ) FCS plugs , to use some of my little one-tabber " sidebites " …
cheers !
