Qué cubre este vídeo

Dan and Kika apply three coats of spray-on cork insulation to the interior cabin ceiling of their boat to manage condensation and improve thermal insulation.14:00 Before spraying, they epoxy plastic panel clips across the ceiling in a grid pattern to facilitate the future installation of lightweight, recycled carbon fiber sandwich panels.0:59 To ensure complete coverage during the multi-coat process, they use a contrasting color for the second coat and apply spray paint as a guide for the final layer.15:06 The application process requires extensive masking of port lights, hatches, and cabin surfaces to prevent overspray.6:26 The finished cork layer measures approximately 4 to 5 millimeters thick and provides noticeable acoustic dampening within the cabin.20:34 The pair plans to cover the main ceiling sections with panels while considering fabric or vinyl for irregular side areas where the cork texture is difficult to clean.24:15
