What this video covers

Edgar and Davi complete the final structural lamination of the keel, applying heavy-duty fiberglass to reinforce the assembly.4:05 The process involves layering 800-gram fabric followed by two layers of 450-gram mat to ensure a solid, unified structure.4:13 To avoid seams, the team cuts large sections of fabric by spreading plastic on the floor, allowing them to laminate the entire surface in single, continuous pieces.4:52 They use resin mixed with aerosil to bond the materials, though the mixture remains prone to running.6:46 After completing the port and starboard sides, the crew confirms the structural integrity of the keel.9:03 Small areas currently blocked by the boat’s support stands remain untreated until the vessel can be shifted.5:32 The team plans to finish the project by applying an epoxy barrier coat over the existing polyester lamination to protect the hull below the waterline.12:01 Proper layering and structural bonding techniques provide the necessary strength for offshore conditions.
