Cosa tratta questo video

Garrett and Ruth continue the refit of their George Buehler boat, Red Aviva, by reinforcing the side decks with biaxial cloth and epoxy.0:28 After removing the original deck planking, they apply fiberglass over the existing composite structure to increase rigidity and reduce maintenance.1:16 Ruth manages the fiberglassing process, using a sharpie to mark cut lines on the fabric before wetting it out with epoxy.2:30 Meanwhile, Garrett constructs a new aft hatch frame by repurposing a beam from the forward hatch and securing it to black locust stanchions.9:19 He uses black locust lumber for the hatch construction, citing the wood's rot resistance and stability.16:51 To improve access to the space below the aft deck, Garrett drills pilot holes in the corners of the deck and uses a jigsaw to cut a new hatch opening.12:04 The pair coordinates their tasks to ensure epoxy work is completed in temperatures near 70 degrees and finished before sunset to allow for proper curing.4:56
