Fresh epoxy coat on catamaran bulkhead repair
What this video covers
The crew of a Lagoon 450 performs structural repairs on an engine room bulkhead and modifies a fuel tank while docked in Thailand.▶ 0:07 To repair the bulkhead, they cut out a damaged section, insert marine plywood, and reinforce the area with biaxial glass and Total Boat Epoxy.▶ 4:20 After an initial layup cured with white discoloration—likely due to contaminated peel ply—the crew removed the affected glass and successfully reapplied the fiberglass.▶ 6:52 To address potential corrosion from dissimilar metals, they welded an aluminum pickup pipe to the bottom of the aluminum fuel tank, allowing for fuel polishing and complete drainage.▶ 11:45 This modification prevents water accumulation at the valve, a common source of diesel bug.▶ 11:23 Additionally, the crew replaces a degraded sail bag with a new unit constructed from Sunbrella fabric.▶ 15:16 The work concludes before the Songkran festival, a Thai New Year celebration involving widespread water play.▶ 13:44
