Bronze screws for the bronze keel for compatibility

[@melinda5777]

Thanks for sharing this knowledge. And Peter, thanks for helping Captain Sven. 1🙏❤🇺🇸⛵😊

[@crdorado1195]

Peter, your assistance to Sven, is extremely prevalent in the way Sven always talks to you when you are there. But, especially when you are not there and him mentioning you in your absence. We can tell that Sven thinks/appreciates all that you do. And from us watching, thank you.

Finding things has progressively become part of my daily routine over the years. Locating anything that gets out of sight and doesn't have a designated location becomes an Easter egg hunt.

[@largemarge1603]

@Barney, I use the 'get rid of clutter' system. If the part stays lost, I clean. If the parts still stays lost, I clean some more.

Golf is the best way to ruin a perfectly good walk.

[@largemarge1603]

@Ocean, Some folk hold the opinion every golf-course would make a great shooting range. . Not simultaneously, of course. Unless you are into that sort of behavior...

[@danielsondavidf]

Peter should give Sven a true golf lesson (use a tripod).

[@joekavanagh5708]

Yes, a break from the routine may trigger new ideas in Svens ingenious brain.

Sven is like a little boy on Christmas morning.🎁🎄 Poignant too, as EXLEX when finished will need nothing for years and years, except a little paint.

Carbon fiber is electrically conductive, so you must be careful of galvanic action between the carbon and any other conductive materials, such as bronze or stainless steel, if the materials are in contact. Especially bad in saltwater, of course.

[@SvenYrvindExlex]

Carbon is only the inside laminate behind a Divinycell core 70 mm thick.

[@dimitricherny]

@@SvenYrvindExlex Yes. I just wanted to warn you against penetrating the inside laminate. I am specifically using no carbon in my boat build, basalt instead, because of the risk of galvanic action.

[@juansimon7020]

hallo Sven! that cavity that you mention with the drill bit makes a lot of sense. What is your plan: insert the screws with the expoxy in liquid state or wait for it to cure and then mechanize a thread and screw the screws with a screwdriver? thanks for the unboxing video! nothing beats an old school hardware shipping

[@SvenYrvindExlex]

I drill all the holes in the keel. I turn the boat upside down. I make two guides for the keel one in each end. I lower the keel in into plenty of elastic NM epoxy. I let it cure the I drill through the laminate and a bit into the divinycell. Then I insert a hex key or a viggle the with a drill to create a cavity in the Divinycell below the laminate and flange. Then I pour in infusion epoxy. Then I put in the screws that have been degreased with aceton.

[@juansimon7020]

@@SvenYrvindExlex Perfect sequence. Dont forget to countersink the holes in the keels so the screws rest flush. Now i am totally convinced that your method is better than trough bolts. Learning lots with you. Thanks master!

Hej Sven När tror du att du kan sjösätta ditt byggprojekt? Kommer du att ta några pauser med byggandet och ge dig ut på några segelturer under tiden? /Tomas

[@rollinrock6696]

Sven I’d bolt the keels to some G10 pads or flanges then glue and glass them to the hull. More surface area bonded and nothing into the foam?

[@SvenYrvindExlex]

It is better to spread out the loads over a much bigger area

When are you going g to build a trimaran? The. Ultimate two person ship.

[@SvenYrvindExlex]

Trimarans are for tropical waters.

[@mattevans-koch9353]

As always, thank you for today's update. The bronze screws appear to be longer that the screw you tested, is this true? With the longer screws you should have even more holding power. Take care and stay well.

[@SvenYrvindExlex]

Like I say in the video, they are more than twice as long, 38 mm 4.8 mm diameter.

[@mattevans-koch9353]

@@SvenYrvindExlex Thank you Sven. I missed that in the video. Have a good evening.

[@redsailor101]

Hej kompis 😁👍⛵

[@pointnemo72]

Will you be able to put the screws in while the epoxy in the holes is still fluid? I don't know if there is a holding strength difference for the different thread types, when it's only the threads that are holding the load. Did you use the machine screws on you older keels for your Ten boat too?

[@SvenYrvindExlex]

See ansver at Juan Simom

[@pointnemo72]

@@SvenYrvindExlex thank you! Things are looking amazing. It's exciting to see how far you've come since you first started the build.

[@anthonyrstrawbridge]

Regardless of orientation the best practices would include making a matrix of the resin. A silicon Copper resin matrix is good but there may be better options with consideration of potential. Probably the very best option for this would be industrial diamonds. I like the industrial diamonds resin matrix because they are inexpensive plentiful and versatile so it is easy to keep the diamonds on hand. The resin diamond matrix flows perfectly smoothly and additions of it quickly adjust viscosity while increasing strength. The most attractive properties of the industrial diamond matrix is insulation ability it is a great insulator, much better than the silicone and stronger. In considering the bore material I'd opt for the matrix. Conversely, carbon fiber, chopped carbon fiber would be the worst choice.
