What this video covers
The crew of Jibsea rebuilds interior storage walls by templating complex hull curves with cardboard and a scribe tool before cutting plywood panels.1:18 To achieve a precise fit against the hull, they use a jigsaw to cut small test pieces, fine-tuning the edges before committing to larger sheets.3:29 After failing to match the boat's 30-year-old wood stain, they decide to finish the new storage panels by mounting a large map and sealing it with a 2:1 ratio epoxy resin.6:00 They test three adhesives—wood glue, contact cement, and spray adhesive—finding that spray adhesive provides the best working time and adhesion for the large map surface.9:08 To ensure a smooth, glassy finish, they perform the epoxy application in the boat's bathroom, using a level and a metal straight edge to guarantee the panels remain perfectly flat during the 16-hour curing process.10:49
