What this video covers

Sven Yrvind completes the installation of the keels on his boat by bonding them with epoxy. He levels the starboard keel using weights before applying the adhesive, running the mixture up and down the joint multiple times to ensure coverage.▶ 0:17 For the port keel, he employs a system of lines running fore and aft to maintain precise positioning against strong forces, while additional side lines and vertical supports prevent the structure from shifting during the curing process.▶ 1:50 After verifying the alignment through a dry run, he applies epoxy to the port side to finish the bonding phase.▶ 2:56 The next steps involve applying glass fiber, filling remaining gaps, and sanding the surfaces to achieve a smooth finish.▶ 2:59 Careful preparation and structural bracing ensure the keels remain stable while the epoxy sets.
