Qué cubre este vídeo

The crew of the 53-foot Catalpa applies a two-part epoxy barrier coat to the vessel’s hull while in a boatyard.0:43 After patching osmosis blisters, the team cleans the fiberglass surface with acetone to ensure proper adhesion.1:01 They use a 3/16-inch nap roller to achieve a smooth finish, applying the epoxy in sections to prevent premature drying and peeling.4:52 The process involves mixing four one-gallon tins of Total Boat barrier coat, which requires a 15-minute induction period before application.9:49 To maintain a continuous wet edge and avoid the need for sanding between layers, the crew applies multiple coats in a single session.8:40 They use Blu-Tac to protect the cutlass bearing adjustment screws from being sealed over during the painting process.2:09 The project concludes with the removal of masking tape and a final inspection of the hull coverage.11:04
