I think the silence is due to the fact that no one has found a sure-fire easy way, or if they have, they aren't talking.

One way I've read is to drill holes in the monofin then the 2 layers of silicone will attach through the holes.

Another way involves gluing lace to the monofin, then the silicone will saturate the lace and cure through it.

I would have sworn someone more experienced than me would have replied. I've read the same thing in some of the threads, but I haven't heard what anyone used to glue the lace to the fin.

I plan on drilling through my polycarbonate so the silicone will lock the layers together through the fin. Maybe Jazz, Jessica, or Firemaid can answer your question.

Have you read the tailmaking threads?
