Hi,

My Nelo surfski leaks through the leash attachment point (see photo). I would like to epoxy it but first I'll have to remove it from the hull. Any advice on how to do that? How are those points glued in?

Thanks for your advice!
Karel

That is an odd leak. I know Epic have a molded cup and the fitting is bonded in after, if there is no fitting it still does not leak. Obviously Nelo drill a hole after molding to bond fitting in.

As for sealing it I would not remove the plug, it is strong enough but just leaks.

Dry it out and then use capillary action with epoxy. Put a small drop on the edge and it will suck into the small hole, should do the trick.
