Simultaneously, the interior chart table undergoes a multi-layer epoxy application.5:45 After a previous attempt resulted in surface contamination—likely silicone—the surface is degreased with acetone before applying a self-leveling tabletop epoxy.11:22 A heat gun is used during the pour to remove air bubbles and ensure a smooth finish.16:31 The crew notes that the project’s pace was significantly hampered by visa-related time constraints, which added pressure to the structural and finishing tasks.30:59 The work concludes with the application of varnish to teak trim, confirming that temperature control is critical for preventing runs on vertical surfaces.29:53
