O que este vídeo aborda

Structural repairs to the hull-to-frame bond involve addressing cracks in the adhesive layer between the sandwich composite hull and the hollow frames.1:02 Rather than removing the frames, which risked misalignment, a professional team restored structural integrity by injecting epoxy into test holes to fill internal voids.4:18 Technicians prepared the surface by removing gel coat along a 10 cm wide section on both sides of the frames and rounding the flange edges to a 45-degree angle to eliminate stress points.3:10 The reinforcement process utilized vacuum-assisted lamination, applying fiberglass mats saturated with epoxy resin to achieve a minimum thickness of 1 cm.5:22 A vacuum foil and spacer fabric ensured even resin distribution and eliminated air pockets during the curing process.5:46 The repair concluded with the application of a protective gel coat and top coat paint in the bilge.6:50 Additionally, the team rebuilt the keel mounting plate by layering fiberglass and epoxy to ensure a snug fit against the keel plate.7:27
