Small Leash Plug (Black)

The Small Leash Plug is an industry-standard surfboard leash plug used for a clean, durable leash attachment. Its compact 15/16" diameter works well where a smaller footprint is preferred, while the deep cup provides plenty of room for the leash string.

Molded in black with a high-grade stainless steel leash bar for strength and corrosion resistance in saltwater environments. Designed for a permanent installation made to last the life of the surfboard.

Installation:

Install the leash plug after the hot coat has cured but before final sanding. For a clean professional installation, first use a standard hole saw to cut a clean 15/16" diameter through the fiberglass and into the board. Remove the fiberglass and material from the center of the cut, then use a 15/16" Forstner Bit to clean out the cavity to the required depth.

This two-step method produces a cleaner edge through the fiberglass than using the Forstner bit alone and leaves a precise cavity for installing the leash plug.

For additional strength, some glass shops place a small piece of 4 oz fiberglass cloth beneath the leash plug before setting it into the routed cavity.

The plug features a built-in reservoir that helps prevent resin from entering the leash cup during installation. Set the plug in place with resin and allow it to fully cure. Do not use Q-Cel as a thickening agent. Use either clear resin or lightly pigmented resin to create a white or black finish around the plug.

Once the resin has fully cured, grind down the reservoir lip flush with the surrounding surface before final sanding of the hot coat.
