Matt creates a custom access hatch in the foam-cored bulkhead near the helm station to reach the winches from the inside.0:06 He cuts a six-inch hole using a hole saw, de-cores the foam, fills the edges, and applies gel coat to ensure a flush finish that does not obstruct the sliding door.0:11 To bond the helm station and storage components, the crew sands all mating surfaces with 80-grit sandpaper and cleans them with acetone.5:28 They use a fast-curing methacrylate adhesive, which requires removing masking tape within five to ten minutes to prevent it from hardening onto the surfaces.6:16 Matt uses thickened resin for secondary joints and clamps the pieces in place with blocks to maintain alignment.8:22 After the adhesive cures, he rounds over the exterior edges with a router to create a soft, safe profile before applying fiberglass cloth to both the interior and exterior surfaces.11:54
