Refitting the pocket catamaran Squib involves structural repairs to the deck and interior cabin renovation. To seal a hole in the bridge deck, the crew grinds the edges down to the laminate, inserts a custom-cut wooden plug, and reinforces the area with multiple layers of fiberglass matting and thickened epoxy.1:39 They also drill out and fill old screw holes with epoxy to ensure structural integrity.1:52 After sanding the repairs flush, the crew cleans the surfaces with acetone to remove dust before applying two coats of primer to the forward cabin.8:08 They use a 4:1 ratio epoxy-based paint, stirring the mixture thoroughly to incorporate settled pigments.9:30 Final finishing includes sanding the primed surfaces with 400-grit paper and applying a topcoat using specialized rollers to achieve a smooth finish.18:01 The project concludes with the installation of trim strips and the removal of old adhesive remnants from the cabin ceiling to facilitate cable routing.18:47
