What this video covers
The crew of the former fishing trawler Brupeg constructs a cabin interior within the vessel’s former freezer room, located below the waterline.5:19 To prevent condensation from accumulating against the steel hull and causing rust, they install a series of white spacer blocks to create a one-inch air gap between the steel and the interior wall panels.13:33 They secure these blocks using epoxy-based adhesive after polyurethane and silicone alternatives failed to set.16:28 The team uses 4mm plywood panels for the walls, mounting them to timber frames bolted to existing steel ribs and welded tags.6:20 They seal all timber edges with Jodomastic 90 epoxy to prevent moisture absorption.10:03 Separately, the crew addresses severe corrosion and multiple pinhole leaks in the aluminum hull of their tender dinghy.2:43 After discovering the bottom plating is compromised, they consult a local welder who recommends installing an aluminum doubler plate over the pitted sections rather than attempting to cut out and replace the degraded material.24:40
