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
