    Great to see the fibreglass expertise on display here. It's not just the incredibly neat outcome, it's the fact that you can stay so calm and meticulous and even give a short interview while being "on the clock" against the resin drying that reveals the depth of experience at work here. The music is tasteful and well-chosen as always.

    As I watch you two interact as people and as a couple, it reminded me that in english lovers or married people are called a couple, where in Danish, lovers or married people is called a pair, like a pair of shoes, they belong together. You two clearly belongs to each other. Keep up the good work, the good life and dream Blue.

    19 years ago today I started a bicycle trip from Morro Bay California to Palm Beach Florida. My world had collapsed around me, and I would be 50 years old in less than a month. I completed the trip and had lots of time to reflect upon what had happened to me and the reaction of strangers to my adventure. If CZcams would have existed back then, I would have considered making a video series about the trip and would have considered continuing indefinitely if I could have gathered an audience as you have done. At almost every town I stopped I found someone who envied my freedom and wished they would or could have the time or courage to do such a thing themselves. It seems you two have stumbled upon the formula that was not possible in my day. All I was doing was processing the loss of my wife and a broken heart. Good luck with your adventure!

    “This is our boat and I can do whatever I want”, 🥰 When Sam Holmes was refitting his Cape Dory 28, after receiving some advice in CZcams comments, he said, “It’s my own boat and I can do what I want.” As a female yacht owner, I receive a lot of well meant, often unasked for, advice. Both Aladino and Sam have said what I would love to say sometimes. 😁😁⛵️🥰 Loving this series, thank you. Elaine

    Re: Using a Sharpie. When I was a child, my father put up drywall in what was then an unfinished basement. He was going to put stucco over the drywall, so I asked if I could draw pictures on the bare drywall. He said yes and I grabbed some carpenter's crayons. After the stucco was applied, the crayon somehow lifted off the drywall and resurfaced. My childish drawings were visible on every wall of the TV room.

  • @matthiasvonmutius9264
    @matthiasvonmutius9264 Před 2 lety +7

    Hi Aladino, one nice trick is to add some microsheres to some resin, paint it over your last layer of glass and then add peel ply over it, then use your roller to really press the peel ply in. The following sanding to get a smooth surface is much quicker and starts with a much better finish already. Using vacuum bagging even gets a better surface in my experience... Having rebuild a Farrier trimaran and building lots of stuff with epoxy and carbon or glass, I know how bad sanding can be...

    3 or 4 years back I had just retired and my neighbour gave me an 18-5 ft. glass powerboat. I had no experience working with fiberglass and or epoxy and I started watching CZcams vids on how to how not to in some cases. I put in a new wood transom and stringers and floor and bullworks (forgive spelling).Now I feel I can do anything I set my mind to and yes there is a great sense of accomplishment even with working fiberglass. Now I know what I have and am so far able to go fishing! CHEERS from viewer on Southern Vancouver Island!

  • @rideauriverrafter
    @rideauriverrafter Před 2 lety

    From my admittedly small scale experience in working with fiberglass building cedar strip canoes, I found that working the glass on the outside of the hull where the curve is generally convex allows for top to bottom or keel to bulwark motion with the hands, spreaders, rollers etc, but on the inside where the curves are concave (generally) tool movement must be directionally fore and aft otherwise voids will develop to no end......

    @philkakid5617 Před rokem

    After spending 20+ years building boats, watching the wasted steps me crazy! Normally we would set up a resin mixing table in the salon or on the deck. It’s much easier to wet out the boat surface with a paint roller, lay the dry glass over the resin, then wet out the glass on the boat, rolling it on with a paint roller. Weight and excess resin on a project such as this is almost immaterial so long as air voids are rolled out.

  • @steveholman3451

When I die, (hopefully not too soon), I want to be reincarnated as your next boat, I know I will be lovingly cared for and appreciated to the Nth degree! Always wanted to sail in blue water around the world as I know you will!! 😊👍🏻 thanks for another beautiful video and the music and edits were perfect ! 👏🏻👏🏻

    I didn't expect any less, some would say take a minute to breathe but I'm sure he didn't stop with the fin roller until the resin was about set. Not a single air molecule was trapped beneath the glass. Lol I really enjoy watching as the work gets done nice very very nice.

    Love your energy and spirit. The balsa trapped inside fiberglassing inevitably absorbs moisture, wet warm air jets hissing in, gets cold and condensates into water, water can't drain out. To make it worse, balsa sucks water like sponge. The next owner shall see the same black rotten balsa again. Even as of today, house construction in North America use plastic film vapor barrier between drywall and FG insulation. No matter how careful one tapes up the plastic film, in the light fixture housings in the ceiling, in the electric boxes on the wall, the whole house is still like a sieve to airflow. As a remedy, inspectors make sure air can escape out thru attics and soffits.

    It would be great to hear Aladino's take on peal ply. And some of the other fiberglass cutting techniques. There seems to be two schools. First cut the perfect fitting piece. Where the other school seems to cut about half to fit around difficult areas leaving it long to be trimmed later. At first it seems the cut perfect seems to be a good idea but if applying the glass causes it to stretch and thus an impossible to cut perfectly is it better to organize the direction of the stretch thus the finish cutoff method might be better.
