Jorman continues the restoration of his sailboat by filling over 70 holes in the window area with resin.1:26 To ensure a clean finish, he applies adhesive tape to the backside of each hole before filling, which prevents resin drips and creates a smooth surface.1:52 He uses acetone to clean excess resin from the surrounding fiberglass immediately after application, noting that allowing the material to cure makes it significantly harder to remove and requires excessive sanding.5:54 Frequent rain showers in the boatyard frequently interrupt his work schedule, forcing him to stop tasks like fiberglassing or painting.7:02 He emphasizes that while restoration projects often appear seamless in edited content, weather delays are a constant reality of the process.7:51 By sealing the holes with tape before the rain began, he successfully protected the uncured resin from moisture.8:35
