Am cumpărat o barcă abandonată acum 2,5 ani și încă lucrăm la ea… | PĂSĂRĂ DE MARE VELING Ep.63
In our defence we must say that it has been just 1 year of work in total since we bought the boat 😅
Thanks for watching!
Please, If you enjoyed it give us a thumbs up and comment down here ↓ It really helps us out and we love reading you 😊
The kick board with the metal strip is that rotten also
You da man
You two got this
Getting that entire deck sealed now is clearly top priority… your 'stainless' renovation skills are second to none ar Stu… bootiful! Loved those replacement nylon spacers too… these continously innovative/restorative solutions are confidence building as well as practical and even economically astute on top… knowing your boat as intimately as you both now do is the key to your end results… and continuing maintenance of this outstanding and compulsive watching renovation project! You guys are inspirational and authentic… crack on innit
It is difficult for now but it will be worth it one day when you splash her in the water!
It might be useful to build up laminates under the stantion basesto maybe a few layers above the deck, and to extend these layers 25% past the stantion bases if possible. Hopefully, this will prevent cracks in the future.
It would seem the FG under the stanchions is a bit thin…. by the time you repair the FG in those areas they will be better and thicker than new. Moral of the story? don't buy a new boat 🙂 I think you will end up with a nice boat that you will know really well.
You 2 are wonderful… I only wish you were closer to me in America so I could stop by and give you a hand and enjoy Stewart's singing and jokes!!😂
lol swiss cheese under the stauchon we did this today as well had the same under good times you two are doing great keep it up
Progress is being made and it shows your skills have improved as well. I would suggest a additional backing plate on the inside on the outside of the head liner giving you 4 layers . Thanks for experimenting now can we soak it in motor oil and wash it with purple power for oh 20 years to see if it holds up lol. Thanks for sharing your journey waiting for more.
you are doing well. Use phosphoric acid to remove rust from stainless steel. It converts iron oxide to iron phosphate which is black in colour and easily scrubbed away with water. Use this on the fibreglass decks too. It is sold as rust killer in the automotive DIY panel repairs
Yer the chopping board idea won’t work as epoxy won’t bond to it
It will create a nice stress riser though which will make cracks
Don’t do it it is very silly
You both are doing a great job. Also thanks for the laughs. Enjoy you both very much
You both are doing well , I hope you both stay well .The boat is getting done . 😅 I know it must be monotonous , it is starting to look great . Stay safe .🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😅
Guys if you're worried about putting gelcoat over epoxy in the bilge, just sand them smooth, paint a coat of epoxy primer on and then 2 coats of white 2-pot polyurethane, much better finish than gelcoat and no worries about compatibility. I would only use gelcoat where you have to to repair the outside of the hull or deck.
🙂
The way those original stanchion pads peeled off, they were almost certainly polyester resin – which as you just proved, does not adhere to epoxy.
Gelcoat (flowcoat) is just tinted polyester resin with wax in it (so that the surface cures – if it stays tacky, there's no wax).
There's the answer to your 'does gelcoat work over epoxy' question (no, it doesn't, at not a little way down the track). I believe there are some formulations now that do work, but I'm sure the packaging would be touting the epoxy compatibility.
You're both doing really well 🙂
Stu you're wrong! When I see some of the research papers, you've got enough there to get your masters.
You guys are getting a lot more comfortable about your experience on camera….. and it’s really nice to see the progress!!!!! Keep it up!!!!
It is a household cleaner named Chemico available in South Africa but I am sure you will find this or something very similar in any shop in your neck of the woods. Here it was colored pink and I thought just change it to blue and triple the price for boaters. Exploitation at its best. It is a metal polish with a creamy consistency formulated to clean SS cookware. Effective in this part of the world.
Tin foil is good for removing rust from stainless, ordinary kitchen foil scrunched up and some elbow grease, good progress, good luck
Was that a bandaid on your laptop?😆
Loving the Christmas music.
Acid is great for removing rust. In the UK super strong harpsichord toilet cleaner is high acid content and used for cleaning stainless. French supermarkets have 14 per cent household vinegar/acetic acid in the DIY section. 20% would be better and don’t forget the gloves! You could also stand difficult to get at stanchion bases in a bucket overnight to let the acid get at the ‘hard to get at places’. Wash well with water afterwards to neutralize. Might be cheaper than using precious welding cleaner acid
Stuart….there is NO substitute for "SCOTCHBRITE" Keep the spongy pads for your pots n pans! 🥴
Stuart i too am a fellow "Skip dipper" but when you are both off to sea, how will you cope with getting rid of a container load of "useful Stuff" and readapt to a new life of not collecting? Crack on guys yr doin a grand job😊
Awesome work.
Just keep going, your end result will be worth the effort
Well done both of you! When you were cleaning the stanchions I was just thinking "you need a buffing wheel for that" and lo and behold, the next shot Stu was using a buffing wheel with proper green compound! Lovely job! Keep going! You are both such hard workers! Must also congratulate on the editing/content of this episode – it flowed really well! 🙂 Richard (UK)
Please be carful with the acid picking paste
