Now trace out you lexan lip,I use 1/8" lexan for these, I cut mine on a schroll saw with no issues, but a band saw or coping saw will work nicely, be sure to test fit all parts, especialy the lip, I ususly need to work the slot wiht some #80 sand paper to get it to fit snugly..

Once every thing is test fit, seal prime and paint....

Now install your swim lip, I use marine grade 60 minute 2 part epoxy to secure the lip, I also add a drop to the 3/4" long screw eyes as an added precaution..

These are great littl plugs for the first arrival schoolies, I've also had theinjhaled by fish considerably larger and they held fast....
