Johan and Malin are laminating the hull of their 50-foot sailboat using a lightweight twill weave fiberglass cloth and peel ply.9:49 To optimize the process, they align the fiberglass strips at a 90-degree angle to the midline, which minimizes overlap and waste while simplifying application along the hull's changing shape.2:48 The team applies the peel ply directly over the wet fiberglass to ensure a smooth finish.1:43 During the project, they encounter challenges with roller selection; large or wide rollers pull the thin, lightweight cloth, while smaller, foam-based rollers prove more effective for saturation.10:53 Cold temperatures—dropping to minus 15 Celsius—require the use of electrical and diesel heaters to maintain a curing temperature of 16 to 17 degrees.15:28 Despite being snowed in by 40-knot winds and heavy drifts, Johan completes the starboard side lamination alone.20:27 The project demonstrates that using smaller, specialized rollers significantly improves the handling and application speed of lightweight fiberglass cloth.13:32
