Johan reinforces the chainplates on the boat by laminating three legs of heavy, 1200-gram unidirectional fiberglass cloth.5:33 Each leg consists of 10 layers measuring 4000 millimeters long and 250 millimeters wide.5:21 To prevent the heavy, saturated cloth from sagging during the vertical application, Johan secures the layers to the hull using stainless steel staples.10:13 He saturates the fiberglass on the floor before applying it to the hull, which allows for precise resin-to-cloth ratios based on calculated surface area.6:57 After curing, he removes the peel ply and sands the overlapping areas to prepare for future interior hull lamination.11:39 The process requires fairing the uneven, 15-millimeter-thick overlaps with thickened epoxy.11:27 Working in the evening when temperatures are lower helps manage the epoxy cure time.5:50 Using stainless steel staples to hold heavy, multi-layer fiberglass in place prevents sagging and allows for a single-pass application.13:48
