Thanks to all of you who have given input on the fin challenge. My only
concern with reusing the skins is that they are both drilled to #30 so hole
consistency as I rebuild might be another headache. Thanks again. CW

If u have a brake handy, just put the sheet in the hold down jaw and set
jaw down to squeeze the creases. Try a little at a time until there is just
a supporting crease left in the skin.
