Qué cubre este vídeo
To maintain a workable temperature for boat construction during winter, the crew seals the cabin of their unfinished vessel using rigid insulation panels.0:07 They cut 8-foot sheets of insulation to fit the companionway and window openings, securing them with tape to create a thermal barrier within the tented workspace.2:17 To heat the interior, they utilize a portable diesel heater powered by a Jackery power station, which provides sufficient warmth for working with resins.11:18 Because polyester resins require consistent temperatures to cure properly, the crew stores their supplies in an insulated Igloo cooler equipped with a waterproof plant-rooting heating pad and a thermostat set to 70 degrees Fahrenheit.15:29 This setup ensures that materials remain at a stable, workable temperature regardless of the ambient cold. The crew also maintains a bulk supply of resins in a climate-controlled marina storage closet, swapping items into the cooler as needed.15:58
