Ce que couvre cette vidéo

A hurricane-damaged hull requires extensive grinding to remove delaminated fiberglass and water-saturated balsa core.1:15 The repair process involves cutting back the hull until the fiberglass remains firmly bonded to the core, then replacing the damaged sections with H80 Divinycell closed-cell PVC foam.6:52 Unlike the original balsa, the closed-cell foam prevents water intrusion.7:49 The repair sequence begins by grinding the damaged area from the outside, creating a template for the new core, and bonding the foam using West System epoxy mixed at a precise five-to-one ratio.15:22 Once the exterior patch cures, the interior is ground down and reinforced with additional matting to restore the structural sandwich integrity.16:21 The project also reveals secondary rot caused by a leaking toilet handrail, which necessitated further core removal.12:46 The repair concludes by securing the new foam core with screws to ensure proper alignment while the epoxy sets.21:48
