Qué cubre este vídeo
Johan and Malin are reconfiguring the interior layout of their boat, specifically shifting two bulkheads 100 millimeters forward to increase space in the galley and the head shower compartment.1:47 The new layout positions the toilet lengthwise rather than sideways to improve floor space flow.4:39 To construct the interior, Johan fabricates custom bulkheads using PET foam, which he laminates with fiberglass using a vacuum bagging technique.9:21 He upgrades to a 12 cubic feet per minute vacuum pump to improve air evacuation and handle potential leaks during the lamination process.19:21 To create rounded corners for the bulkheads, he builds a mold using a section of pipe and plywood, then employs a kerf-bending technique on the foam to achieve a 100-millimeter inner radius.10:05 He uses a laser and center-line measurements to ensure the bulkheads are installed without twists.24:17 Vacuum bagging both sides of the foam simultaneously significantly speeds up the lamination process, though achieving a perfect 90-degree corner requires careful sealing of the mold to prevent vacuum leaks.32:01
