We fixed the holes/cracks with a fiberglass filled polyester like Tiger hair. Sand everything fair and vacuum bagged multiple layers of fiberglass chopped strand mat over the repaired areas, fair that in+gelcoat it then bottom paint

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.
@ShellRepairUSA3 ай бұрын
Automotive paint store like Sherwin Williams or PPG. If you can bring the boat to them they could match the color. If you want new empacher yellow we could ship it, email us at [email protected]

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.

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!!

Open and fill with low density epoxy filler then laminate a fiberglass veil over it so you won't see it later or risk cracking again

@ShellRepairUSA Жыл бұрын
Low density epoxy filler, we also mix in short carbon fiber strands, of course any repair adds weight but for small dents only a few grams

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?
@ShellRepairUSA Жыл бұрын
Most shells are automotive paint
@philsilk1666 Жыл бұрын
@@ShellRepairUSA I was surprised when I realised this as iv seen some repairs shown with Gel coats, and the confirmation is helpful thanks. Im probably going to get some banged up boats and practice I’m guessing primer and several coats of finish. Do you have a preferred type of primer to adhere to carbon?
@ShellRepairUSA Жыл бұрын
Any 2 part polyurethane primer and paint system. Higher quality boats will be painted base coat then clear coat like this Hudson 1x

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! 🙏🙏🙏

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.

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.
