¿Qué cubre este video?

Dan and Kika construct a non-structural, representational hull section to demonstrate the fiberglass layup process currently underway on their boat, *Uma*.0:05 They use chop strand mat and vinyl ester resin to replicate the thickness and material composition of the actual hull, intending to use the model as a visual aid for future project explanations.9:59 The crew mixes vinyl ester with a two-percent catalyst, noting that the material is cost-effective and suitable for non-structural applications.10:10 After initially working indoors, they move the project outside to mitigate the strong VOC fumes and improve ventilation.19:47 The process involves layering the fiberglass and saturating it with resin, though they acknowledge their lack of recent experience with large-scale fiberglass work.10:38 They plan to cut the finished model in half to demonstrate the final thickness and layering technique.19:18 The project serves as a practice run for upcoming interior hull work, which they intend to perform themselves to manage costs and project timelines.13:06
