O que este vídeo aborda
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.▶ 0:44 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.▶ 6:08 Djé fills voids with loaded epoxy before laminating to ensure full adhesion.▶ 19:17 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.▶ 2:38 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.▶ 15:57
