O que este vídeo aborda

Refurbishing the fiberglass deck of a 1993 Westerly Ocean Quest, Zephyr IV, requires removing failing KiwiGrip coating and performing extensive surface repairs.Watch Initial attempts to strip the coating with a heat gun, orbital sander, and flat chisel proved inefficient; a sharp, heavy-duty push scraper effectively removed the bulk of the material.0:49 After stripping, the deck required significant filling of chips and holes with epoxy filler, followed by meticulous hand-sanding to ensure a smooth substrate for paint.2:27 The owner applied International One Up as a primer and undercoat, using a 4-inch foam roller and adding thinners to maintain consistency in warm temperatures.8:54 After sanding the undercoat with 220-grit paper, two coats of International Toplac Plus in Oyster White were applied to match the existing fiberglass.14:05 The final non-skid surface was achieved using International Interdeck applied with a roller after cleaning the surface with acetone.16:07
