I would recommend no bag in the summer for epoxy boards. Particularly away
from the coast, high altitude(keep in open ) and hot cars/vans. Watch the
plug when going into the mountains. New boards gas off a lot of evil stuff
too.

The discussion about plugs is funny. I remember back in 1981, while
promoting Gary Young's Woodwind line that everyone had problems about the
plug. Yeah, there were other problems too, but he was on the cutting edge
of epoxy/laminate technology. That has evolved further in to the
white/davinicel "chlorox" bottles (remember that term!) everyone takes as
the norm. Now the "plug" is a fact of life.
