After drilling, he paints the sides of the mounting location before securing the padeye with a backing plate on the interior.▶ 2:30 He uses epoxy to seal the holes, creating a permanent, high-strength bond that prevents water ingress.▶ 3:19 This installation method prioritizes structural integrity, ensuring the attachment point can withstand significant loads while maintaining the hull's seal.
