Qué cubre este vídeo

The owners of a Cape George Cutter 36 perform a full deck fiberglass refit, replacing rotted balsa insulation, deck beams, and blocking.2:01 The project requires applying heavy-gauge fiberglass cloth over the entire deck surface using a 2:1 high-performance epoxy resin.8:34 An initial attempt fails when ambient temperatures remain too low, preventing the resin from properly wetting out the heavy fabric.11:15 The crew recovers by constructing a plastic tent over the deck and using three heaters to maintain an elevated, consistent temperature.13:50 They employ a hybrid layup technique, combining dry and wet methods to ensure saturation while managing the working time of the slow-cure hardener.14:33 After applying the fiberglass, they cover the surface with peel ply to protect the finish and ensure a smooth, walkable surface for subsequent work.16:03 The successful application of the deck glass allows the project to move forward to bulwark installation.21:55 Proper temperature control and tenting are essential for successful large-scale epoxy and fiberglass work in cold climates.
