Cosa tratta questo video
The crew of the 47-foot vessel Nandji - Frothlyfe hires a professional team to wet-blast the hull back to the gel coat while on the hard stand.1:26 The process reveals hidden osmosis blisters and previous structural repairs that hand-sanding would have missed.8:11 The blasting team uses adjustable pressure and media to remove old, poorly adhered primer without damaging the fiberglass substrate.3:27 After identifying and filling the osmosis pits with epoxy filler, the crew applies a three-layer epoxy primer system, followed by a tie coat and three coats of Chugoku antifouling paint.21:16 The team also applies PropSpeed to the propeller and skeg to reduce the need for underwater maintenance in future cruising grounds.14:14 The project demonstrates that wet-blasting provides a superior surface profile for paint adhesion compared to sanding and allows for a comprehensive inspection of the hull's structural integrity.19:50
