Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Kent Blair restores a 1930s Bahamas dinghy named Henning, which spent 40 years in storage under a tin roof.Watch The hull features 3/8-inch thick planking previously covered in a layer of polyester resin and fiberglass cloth, which peeled away easily due to the wood's natural expansion and contraction.0:45 After removing the fiberglass remnants with 60-grit sandpaper, the hull exhibits plank seams ranging from tight to 1/8-inch wide, particularly below the waterline.2:13 To address these gaps, the hull will undergo a multi-day soak in a tank to encourage the wood to swell before applying cotton caulking.1:50 An oscillating tool with a round blade cleans the seams.2:30 The keel features a series of mysterious holes spaced every three inches, containing remnants of metal fasteners, which appear only on one side of the boat.3:47 The project involves deciding between a bright finish or paint, given the presence of white putty over bronze fasteners.5:52
