Warren completes several major fiberglass and carbon fiber fabrication projects at a boatyard in New Zealand while Erica recovers from leg surgery. The primary tasks involve constructing custom lids and boxes for a built-in freezer and a barbecue station, utilizing molds, gel coat, and epoxy. To fabricate new dash panels for the nav and helm stations, Warren uses a carbon fiber layup technique that involves wetting the weave on plastic sheets to maintain alignment before applying epoxy and wood reinforcement.▶ 3:35 After curing, he removes the pieces from their forms, performs light sanding, and prepares the surfaces for final polishing.▶ 12:49 The freezer lid features a tight, sub-millimeter fit and two inches of insulation, supplemented by an additional four inches of cushion padding.▶ 22:04 Meanwhile, Erica receives medical clearance to transition from a cast to a walking boot and begins physical therapy.▶ 15:06 The projects remain in the final finishing stages, requiring additional wet sanding and polishing to remove minor surface bubbles and imperfections.▶ 13:51
