Jorman repairs a soft, hollow section of the cabin sole on his sailboat by cutting away the damaged fiberglass and rotted core.2:55 The floor construction consists of a fiberglass-wood-fiberglass sandwich that suffered extensive water intrusion over time, leaving the internal wood structure decayed.3:19 To access the rot, he marks a perimeter one inch inside the damaged area to maintain structural integrity, using the bottom layer of fiberglass as a mold for the eventual repair.7:12 He emphasizes the necessity of personal protective equipment, specifically recommending a full-face respirator with interchangeable filters to prevent inhalation of fiberglass dust and to avoid the fogging issues common with separate goggles and masks.5:35 For heavy-duty cutting and grinding, he utilizes a corded 700-watt Bosch professional angle grinder, noting that corded tools provide superior power and durability for long-duration projects compared to battery-operated alternatives.13:18 The restoration strategy prioritizes structural strength and functionality over cosmetic finish to keep the project budget-friendly and manageable for a solo owner working limited hours.18:12
