Cosa tratta questo video

Refitting the interior of the pocket catamaran Squib involves installing custom wooden cable conduits, sealing windows, and surface preparation for painting. To install the cable channels, the crew mounts Okoume wood supports along the deckhouse, compensating for a two-millimeter bulge in the structure by using epoxy thickened with sawdust to fill gaps.3:14 The design includes a central console intended to house wind and depth instruments, positioned to receive wiring routed from the mast.15:50

For the window installation, the crew applies Sikaflex sealant to the frames, using suction cups and tension straps to hold the glass in place while the adhesive cures.6:22 The process requires warming the sealant tube to improve flow.3:13 Surface finishing tasks include sanding epoxy-primed areas with 400-grit paper to remove imperfections and filling remaining pinholes with thickened epoxy.10:45 Additionally, the crew attempts to route new electrical cables through existing conduits, though limited space necessitates further investigation and potential structural modifications.6:56 Proper surface preparation and filling voids with thickened epoxy are essential for achieving a smooth finish before painting.
