Cosa tratta questo video

Jon continues the deck restoration on his sailboat, *Antidote*, by removing the fiberglass top skin and rotten balsa core in sections.2:09 To avoid structural deformation, he replaces the core incrementally rather than removing the entire deck at once.2:37 During the demolition, he discovers that the molded fiberglass section surrounding the forward hatch was likely a secondary modification, as it shows significant cracking and poor integration with the original deck.3:39

While removing the deck core, Jon encounters screws protruding from the underside, which anchor the interior headliner.9:23 To prevent damage to the interior, he removes the teak trim and beadboard panels in the head.12:27 He uses a brad point drill and a small chisel to remove bungs without damaging the surrounding wood, and a heat gun with a flexible putty knife to break the adhesive bonds.12:51 Although he initially intended to preserve the headliner, he concludes that the permanent installation makes future access to deck hardware and wiring difficult, leading him to prioritize removal over preservation.19:33
