Hva denne videoen dekker

Djé and Nad, aboard their Outremer catamaran hauled out in the Caribbean, rebuild one of the boat's transoms (jupes) from scratch using fiberglass lamination. The work centers on fabricating and bonding a new structural panel to replace rotted and damaged sections, shaping rounded edges for aesthetics and dinghy-boarding access, then laying four layers of 450g/m² fiberglass cloth — nearly 2 kg/m² total — over the prepared surface.11:00 Djé fills voids with loaded epoxy before laminating to ensure full adhesion.19:42 He also applies Loctite 577 thread-sealant to refit seacocks on the saildrive units, replacing an unsuitable jointing paste that had left the valves loose; he plans a 48-hour cure check.2:40 In the port engine bay, a bilge pump hose had come unglued; he rebonds it with 6K tape but cannot do the same in the starboard bay due to residual water, likely entering through the tiller hatch.3:53 A sourcing problem with peel ply surfaces mid-job: a locally purchased fabric turns out to be taffeta rather than peel ply and cannot be removed after cure, making re-lamination over it unreliable.27:04 Thorough preparation — pre-cutting all cloth, staging materials, and shaping surfaces before mixing resin — is the key factor in a successful lamination session.28:25
