Qué cubre este vídeo

Huub repairs hurricane-damaged hull sections on a catamaran by applying two layers of biaxial matting and one layer of roving.0:32 To ensure proper adhesion to the foam core, he pre-wets the surface with epoxy before applying the fiberglass, using short-hair mohair rollers to minimize splashing and excess resin buildup.16:35 Working in Caribbean temperatures, he limits epoxy batches to 150 grams to account for a seven-minute working window before the slow hardener sets.11:04 Beyond the fiberglass work, he refines previous structural welds on the boat's front triangle using a fine sanding disc and Bondo for a smoother finish.16:34 He installs Monell rivets with UV4000 sealant to prevent galvanic corrosion between aluminum and stainless steel components.17:09 Additionally, he replaces broken rigging hardware with custom-cut threaded rods protected by leather spacers to isolate dissimilar metals.20:00 The boat remains on stands, requiring final alignment adjustments once returned to the water.21:59
