Cosa tratta questo video

Preparation for laminating a 50-foot wooden hull involves removing approximately 3,000 screws and washers used during the planking process.2:03 To maintain the hull's shape after removing the final row of screws, internal blocks are installed to secure the planking against temporary frames.5:43 The hull surface requires a light sanding, followed by filling all screw holes and bilge gaps with thickened epoxy.4:49 A thin coat of epoxy applied with rollers and peel ply will provide a base for fiberglass application, eliminating the need for intermediate sanding.5:04

To accommodate future fiberglass layers without increasing hull thickness, a 100 mm wide recess is routed along the shear line and transom.8:54 Sharp 90-degree edges at these transitions are beveled to 45 degrees using a router and hand plane to ensure the fiberglass conforms to the hull without air gaps.17:02 Fairing is deferred until after the fiberglass application to account for surface irregularities introduced by the laminate.5:56

Fairing after fiberglass application prevents the need for double-sanding the hull.6:22
