What this video covers
Pablo Berrus uses a Dremel tool to bevel the edges of deck holes before filling them with sealant, part of his preparation for a round-the-world sailing voyage.0:06 He runs the Dremel around each hole to create a chamfer, which improves sealant adhesion.0:06 Tape applied to the underside of each hole prevents the sealant from falling through before it cures.0:12 The finished surface is not perfectly smooth, but the repair is functional and watertight.0:53 The work is day 31 of an ongoing refit sequence aimed at getting the boat ready for a circumnavigation.Watch
