please go on and continui,i am doing an etchellls 22 bodywork with no experiance ur skills whatsoever. looking forward and a merry christmas from amsterdam.

Do people ever install them without using the screws? I don't trust my ability to drill straight down. I have C2 Smoothie2 Vortex Edge blades.

Beautiful shells, please show post reconditioning.

HI. How much vacuum is needed?

Don't know where I put my extra fishing pole😅 Nice work😉

What is your plan to grow your channel?

Do you guys have this Hudson Grey paint on hand that you would sell? I have been trying to get some. The Hudson rep said to get it from an Auto Sherwin Williams but it’s a costly $150 per pint and I only need it for a scrape the size of a dime.

really liking your videos, how'd you get started?

got to love a bit of old school U2. lovely repair

Is there any concern with the glue sticking to a painted blade? I see your baldes were painted so I assume not. I would imagine the screws will also help.

what the fuck

Do you have any idea how he took the bow deck off?

would love to see the work on this cat....thanks

Hi, is it still for sale? i'm interested

I’m a restoring the same boat, 1999 1X originally owned by previous world record holder and Olympic champion Rob Waddell. Can you help with where to get the correct Empacher paint? Thank you.

Ouch

Hudson's sections are, I find, among the best built (nice neat seam, good carbon work) and easiest to split and join. In fact, unless they specifically wanted you to deal with the couple of little scratches on the bow, I'm a bit perplexed why they brought you the whole boat rather than just bringing you the stern.

Something’s never change

Is there an 'after' video of this yet?

Quick question, some small section of my boat is soft when pressed compared to other areas. I suspect delamination underneath these soft areas (honeycomb Nomax no longer glued to the outer skin? ). I have researched online and found out the best way is to drill arrays of small holes in these areas and inject resin to glue the honeycomb back into the outer skin. Is this the correct way to do this? Thanks!!

Where are parts 1 to 3 videos? Thanks

Super Glue and Baking Soda will fix it...

@ShellRepairUSA is there a video of the boat fully repaired?

how would you repair the cracked seam in this boat just curious thanks!

how would you repair the compressed area just curious? adding epoxy filler would add on weight right?

Hi mate, I think your based in US or Canada? I’m based in the U.K. and looking to learn the trade, but there’s no real course you can attend. On full carbon shells or even fibre glass for that matter do firms use gel coats, or just primer and spray?

Interesting

Wonderful Job!

Hi! We have a short boat that needs repair, not refurbishing. Do you have any videos on how you repaired the seat or any broken footrests? Very few people in our area seem to know how to repair dragonboats and we want to keep our boat safe for the team to use. Hope you can help! 🙏🙏🙏

wow great video!! keep up the great work.

Hello , is it automotive paint with a finishing product or is it just gelcoat?

What are the white marks left by the back of the rails?

I think every boat repair across the county involves those Gatorade cups.

Great video, what do you use for your clear coat?

Do you guys have any recommendations for replacement inspection ports for the new Filippi’s? I have a 2020 F15 and it’s surprising how shitty the new inspection ports are. After one week of owning the boat the plastic pegs broke off and now it won’t even screw in

FYI. Cores in Empacher are nomex. Not cellulose.

Do you guys think ordering an empacher with the Olympic Edition is worth it?

Love the background song....

fantastic sheen on the end product. super smooth work

Looks like it has been dropped stern first and feet down onto the floor. You can't buckle all the way around like that without damaging the deck carbon - it will be damaged internally even if the outer deck appears solid.

Hi! I'm wondering if you also repair wooden boats? Because it'll be amazing to watch a video of how to repair it

This boat has spent time in the UK - the TWK 301 code on the side means it used to be registered to Twickenham Rowing Club in West London, as a private boat. The seat is definitely CD but I'm not sure if it's a standard or made-to-measure pattern. H2Row shoes are also a giveaway.

Hate dirty Empachers. 😬

Where would one obtain a “paint pen” as shown in the video?

Looks manageable for a strip and repaint, unless there are any soft spots under the scratches? Looking forward to some summary of the physical damage.

I want it!
