What this video covers

Sven Yrvind laminates the port side of his small boat's keels using epoxy and glass fiber.▶ 0:03 He grinds the keel surfaces to prepare them for bonding, filling small gaps with epoxy to ensure a smooth profile.▶ 0:03 He applies two layers of glass fiber to the center of the keels for increased strength and one layer to the ends for protection.▶ 2:03 Masking tape marks the boundary for the fiberglass application to prevent excess material buildup.▶ 1:31 Once the epoxy cures, he plans to remove the temporary screws used for positioning and rotate the boat to repeat the lamination process on the starboard side.▶ 2:28 Proper surface preparation and strategic layering of fiberglass provide structural integrity and abrasion resistance for the keels.
