Tail pach or Football patches - Side fin boxes

Hello,

I would like you to give me a hand in the process to laminate the side fin boxes. In my case I will laminate a 7'2 board, I have already installed the side boxes and I'm ready to start laminating the bottom of the board. The bottom will be 6oz and have a mixture of pigments, which if run well will be opaque.

Before installing the boxes I thought to put only football patches whit clear resin, but then I came across the mixture of pigments, and I'm afraid that could give problems. I thought it is good idea a tail patch, but like to hear your opinion before.

What can I do to strengthen the side boxes?

Thanks
