Cosa tratta questo video

Restoring the cabin sides of a 1970 Paceship Yachts Westwind 24 requires building up fiberglass thickness around four port light cutouts. After installing a single layer of 1.5-ounce chopped strand mat as a backing piece, the repair process involves applying two layers of 1708 biaxial fiberglass cloth using non-waxed laminating polyester resin.5:54 To ensure proper adhesion and surface contact, a thin coat of repair putty creates a ramp around the cutout edges before the glass is laid wet-on-wet.5:29 Because the exterior laminate must remain flush with the surrounding cabin, the final thickness is achieved by sanding and applying fairing compound rather than adding more glass.15:22 To reach the target quarter-inch thickness, additional layers of 1708 will be laminated to the interior side of the cabin, where space allows for extra build-up behind future interior trim.16:21 A wax-containing gel coat serves as a final curing agent and guide coat to verify thickness before sanding.11:55
