Hey guys, 

Im after some expert advice around DIY. Recently bought a pair of Pathos footpockets as i was told they would fit my Rukus. Have tried to put them into the pocket and the blades are a bit long. How do I go about cutting the blade? Any advice?

Thanks

Get the people who sold you the blades to fit them for you.

Was able to avoid cutting the composite by heating the footpockets and using elbow grease to get the blade to go in further. After a bit of 2 pack epoxy glue, seems fine. Stoked!

would two pot epoxy glue have the flexibility needed for a fin & footpocket bending?

The blade won't (or shouldn't) be bending where it is inserted in the foot pocket so shouldn't matter
