Preparation of a new fiberglass anchor locker lid requires cleaning the surface with denatured alcohol to remove waxy residue, followed by light hand sanding to ensure proper adhesion.0:11 The layup process involves applying unthickened West System Slow Cure Epoxy to the foam core before laying the fiberglass cloth.2:20 To achieve a dense, resin-rich bond, the cloth is pressed into the wet resin, covered with polyester peel ply, and weighted down using wax paper as a release agent.3:28 The peel ply absorbs excess resin, helping maintain an optimal resin-to-fiberglass ratio during the curing process.3:48 Separately, the crew installs a new foresail, noting that the factory-installed webbing attachments are durable but difficult to thread through the turning blocks and sheet leads.6:23 Adjusting the sail lead position aft improves the final trim of the new headsail.7:40 Proper surface preparation and the use of peel ply ensure structural integrity in fiberglass repairs.
