What this video covers
Jorman continues the restoration of an abandoned sailboat in Puerto Santo, focusing on repairing multiple holes in the deck.4:00 High humidity and unpredictable weather frequently delay the curing process of the fibreglass and resin, forcing the project timeline to extend.3:15 To fill numerous small deck holes efficiently, Jorman uses a plastic bag as a makeshift piping tool to inject resin, though he discovers that the resin runs on non-flat surfaces.9:49 He mitigates this by applying masking tape over each hole to contain the material while it sets.10:45 During the process, he accidentally over-sands a section with a Makita power tool, necessitating a secondary repair.6:01 He utilises a budget-friendly Dremel tool for precision work on the fibreglass and gelcoat, noting that low-speed settings are essential to avoid damaging the material.7:29 The work remains focused on structural preparation before final painting, with the crew adapting daily tasks to accommodate environmental conditions and unforeseen surface damage.11:19
