What this video covers

Sven Yrvind prepares the port side hatch hardware on his boat by installing eight lines through 30mm thick material.▶ 0:27 To facilitate the installation, he uses a chain hoist to heel the vessel onto its port side.▶ 0:24 He secures the lines by applying super glue to stiffen the ends, then grinds the tips to a fine, pen-like point to ease their passage through the drilled holes.▶ 1:04 After realizing the initial plan required eight lines rather than four, he mixes additional epoxy to complete the installation.▶ 2:43 He reinforces the knots by dipping them directly into the epoxy mixture to ensure a secure hold.▶ 3:16 This process demonstrates a method for stiffening and sharpening thick line ends for hardware installation using readily available adhesives and manual grinding.
