Qué cubre este vídeo
Kent Blair repairs a dry, rotted scarf joint on the mast of Henning, a 10-foot 1930s Bahamas dinghy.0:11 He uses Thixo, a thickened epoxy adhesive, to bond the joint, noting that the filler material fills microscopic gaps and ensures the wood fails before the bond does.4:27 To ensure proper saturation, he leaves a small amount of squeeze-out visible along the seam, as dry wood often absorbs epoxy over time.3:15 He advises applying thin epoxy to raw lumber before the final glue-up to prevent the wood from wicking away the adhesive.4:20 While wood glue requires perfectly flat surfaces and high clamping pressure, thickened epoxy allows for easier application via a caulk gun and mixing tip.4:27 Blair uses an excessive number of clamps to force the mast into a straight alignment while the epoxy cures, correcting a slight bend from previous storage.6:41
