Cosa tratta questo video

The crew of the sailboat Uma prepares the hull for a final topcoat application in Olbia, Sardinia, after completing extensive fairing and priming. To address pinholes and surface imperfections, they use All Fair epoxy filler for large areas and Arrowwave for quick-curing spot repairs.3:30 They select International Perfection Pro for the finish, choosing it for its ability to self-level and achieve a spray-like gloss when applied by brush and roller.7:21 The process requires three layers of undercoat, each sanded between applications.7:32 Despite 13 hours of labor to prepare the surface, the crew postpones the final topcoat due to an unreliable weather forecast showing rain in the immediate vicinity of the shipyard.15:09 Because Perfection Pro has a long curing time, even minor precipitation or condensation during application would ruin the finish and necessitate sanding the entire coat off.15:41 The crew opts to wait for a stable weather window to ensure the multi-coat system can be applied within the recommended recoat intervals.17:33
