To eliminate thermal bridging and condensation on interior deck hardware, the crew of the 45-ft vessel Uma encapsulates stanchion base nuts in thickened epoxy.14:55 Previous condensation issues arose from stainless steel hardware protruding through the deck, creating cold spots that dripped moisture inside.14:32 The team uses spherical silicone ice cube trays as molds to cast uniform, high-strength epoxy caps over acorn nuts on the underside of the deck.15:44 This method creates a captive, watertight nut that allows the deck bolts to be removed and reinstalled for future maintenance without breaking the seal.21:09 To ensure structural integrity, the crew tests the epoxy bond using M6 and M12 bolts, confirming the epoxy holds beyond the torque limits of the stainless steel fasteners.22:30 Before installation, the deck undergoes extensive fairing and priming to ensure a flat, unified surface for hardware mounting.1:09 The process allows the crew to permanently seal deck perforations while maintaining modular access to stanchions and cleats.27:06
