Cosa tratta questo video
Damien and Jess perform maintenance on the steel hull and gates of their expedition boat, Brupeg, while preparing for launch. The crew removes old, heavy steel gates to resize them and replace failing hinges.0:41 Because the original hinges were not strong enough to support the weight of the 6mm steel gates, Damien abandons a plan to use tapped holes and captive nuts, opting instead to fabricate custom stainless steel hinges using a new plasma cutter.20:42 The team also strips chlorinated rubber paint from the hull using a hammer drill, as the material resists sandblasting.10:37 To manage rust on the hull, they employ a wet-blasting process followed by a phosphoric acid treatment and epoxy primer, a method they have found effective for their specific conditions.13:00 The crew also replaces diesel-contaminated Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) and cleans the interior of the boat to prevent dust-related corrosion.9:02 The project demonstrates that upgrading to a more robust hinge design early prevents future structural failures.
