Jon continues the deck restoration on his sailboat, Antidote, by addressing extensive rot in the balsa core and repairing fiberglass voids. After removing old teak decking, he discovered the deck was almost entirely saturated.▶ 0:49 He is replacing the rotted core with Divinycell foam, using a vacuum bagging technique to bond the new material. During previous work, he identified air bubbles in the fiberglass laminate caused by improper rolling and insufficient thickened epoxy.▶ 3:03 He grinds out these voids with a Makita handheld tool and patches them with fresh epoxy.▶ 5:26 To ensure consistent power for his vacuum pump in his semi-outdoor shop, he integrates a Bluetti AC240 portable power station with a B210 expansion battery and a PV350D solar panel.▶ 15:37 The IP65-rated system provides the necessary wattage to maintain vacuum pressure during epoxy curing in humid conditions.▶ 19:32 He plans to use wood templates to cut the foam core for the remaining deck sections.▶ 12:04
