Qué cubre este vídeo

Fiberglassing the battery box sections and galley pockets requires a rapid, 24-hour effort to meet a deadline for keel installation.0:47 Brett and Jade Evans prepare the surfaces by sanding existing fiberglass and cleaning with acetone to ensure proper adhesion for new layers.3:53 A sudden rainstorm introduces moisture to the fiberglass cloth, forcing the crew to use a space heater and hair dryers to dry the material before application.2:11 The team mixes epoxy in small batches to prevent exothermic reactions and uses a radius squeegee to apply the resin efficiently.7:38 They transition from using Rocca epoxy to West System epoxy, noting that the latter is more difficult to work with and has a stronger odor.11:28 After completing the layup, the crew achieves the necessary structural progress to proceed with the keel installation.13:56 Proper surface preparation, including sanding and removing peaks or snags, prevents voids in the fiberglass layup.3:50
