¿Qué cubre este video?
Johan and Malin are extending the stern of their 52-foot custom-built sailboat to create a swimming platform.0:07 The project involves laminating PET foam panels to the existing hull structure. To ensure a strong bond, Johan installed shims on the mold to align the foam with the hull's recess, creating an overlap area for the fiberglass.7:10 The team applied four layers of fiberglass to the inside of the extension to provide initial structural support before removing the mold.9:20 After curing, the outer surface was sanded to prepare for the final four-layer exterior lamination.13:08 Johan used approximately 10 kilograms of glass and 9 kilograms of epoxy for the exterior, applying a thin layer of thickened epoxy to the foam and hull to prevent air gaps.16:34 The addition of the second skin significantly increased the panel's stiffness.18:59 The crew also reorganized their workshop, moving timber and heavy machinery to a converted stable to improve workspace efficiency during winter.0:34
