What this video covers
Jorman continues the restoration of an abandoned sailboat in Puerto Santo, focusing on repairing multiple holes in the deck. High humidity and unpredictable weather frequently delay the curing process of the fibreglass and resin, forcing the project timeline to extend.▶ 2:26 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.▶ 5:10 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.
