The crew of a Lagoon 450 repairs a section of the hull from the transom to the keel by applying four layers of biaxial fiberglass.0:13 To manage the curing time in high temperatures, the team uses Total Boat Epoxy with a slow hardener, mixing it in 1.5-liter batches and transferring the resin into smaller containers to prevent premature kicking.1:12 The process involves wetting out the hull surface before applying pre-cut, numbered, and rolled fiberglass sheets to ensure precise placement.3:41 The team uses an air roller to remove trapped air bubbles and distribute excess resin, noting that any air pockets would require grinding out the cured laminate.5:09 When the fiberglass cloth stretches during application, the crew cuts small filler strips to maintain the required four-layer thickness.13:34 The repair addresses a localized area of blistering along the centerline, which the crew distinguishes from previous hurricane-related damage.3:10 The project concludes with the final tie-in to the keel, followed by the transition to the fairing stage.20:32
