Qué cubre este vídeo

The owner of the 30-foot sailboat Antidote replaces the rotted anchor locker deck and V-berth flooring using Coosa panels and aluminum support beams.0:13 To laminate fiberglass onto the Coosa panels, he uses a flat table covered in packing tape as a release surface, applying peel ply and weights to ensure a tight fit over hard edges.0:31 After realizing he neglected to round over the panel edges with a router before lamination, he uses thickened epoxy to fill potential gaps and successfully achieves a flush fit.7:35 He replaces sagging HDPE hatch covers with temporary OSB panels cut to shape using a track saw and a door-skin template.15:33 To improve access to the compartment below the V-berth, he installs new aluminum beams to create a removable center section, allowing for easier routing of hoses.20:46 He secures the structural components using epoxy fillets applied with clear piping bags and heavy weights to avoid using mechanical fasteners.11:55
