The crew of Nervous- Starting Over! refurbishes their starboard fiberglass water tank to address internal black mold and gel coat degradation.0:36 After removing and disposing of the port tank, they prepare the remaining unit by grinding away loose gel coat and exposed laminate on the tank fins, stopping once the fiberglass substrate is reached.0:25 They use a jigsaw to cut new access ports into the tank lid, then clear the balsa coring using a custom-made tool fashioned from aluminum bar stock and a bolt.5:39 To resolve issues with incompatible British pipe thread fittings, they drill a new one-inch hole to install a standard through-hull fitting, using a multi-tool to flatten the fiberglass surface for a secure nut seat.10:16 The project concludes with the installation of a new water pump and the beginning of the plumbing process.10:42 Proper surface preparation and the use of epoxy to seal exposed laminate ensure the structural integrity of the fiberglass tank.
