Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Peter performs deck repairs and surface preparation on the pocket catamaran Squib, focusing on filling stress cracks and leveling uneven areas before painting. To address stress cracks in the gelcoat caused by underlying bulkheads, he previously reinforced the areas with multiple layers of fiberglass.0:47 For the current refit, he cleans the deck with acetone and applies a filler mixture of epoxy, microballoons, and Aerosil.2:38 He uses plastic sheeting to mold and smooth the epoxy in tight corners, allowing it to cure before sanding.4:34 To ensure a flat finish, he switches from an eccentric sander to a long-base orbital sander, which prevents the creation of new depressions during the leveling process.7:10 Additionally, he fabricates and installs wooden support pedestals for deck-mounted turning blocks, using through-bolted connections reinforced with custom-cut wooden inserts and fiberglass laminates.9:26 He replaces countersunk screws with hex-head bolts during the bonding process to ensure they remain removable after the epoxy cures.14:17
