Chockfast: a hard road to success - Brupeg Ep.330

[@davidsutch7929]

I spit my coffee out when you called the air chisel a "one grit sander"

[@kstricl]

So awesome seeing how much current Brupeg generates just at idle. And especially awesome seeing her underway at the start.

[@robmclaughlin420]

Those mounts are harder than I thought they would be for a liquid pour. Awesome to see it push water.

[@sassylobo]

Love the intro bit powering over the swell! She looks great!

[@ThePaulv12]

The Chockfast dams were some of the most riveting things I've seen on KZbin. To appreciate the tension I suppose one has to have been watching for years, but the relief at your success almost caused me to forget about the cat.

[@Orchardman53]

I remember an earlier KZbin where you were amused that people can be Certified Chockfast Installers. 😀

[@ProjectBrupeg]

Yeah that didn’t age well in hindsight

[@propylaeen]

What a great crew of great people you are! Thank you for sharing! Click, clack - done. Congratulations 🎉🍾🎊 … What a wash for a sunken trawler 😊

[@mickralph4623]

Heart in mouth stuff that! Well done!

[@jamarie1972]

Great video Guy’s, really pleased for you all that after so many years of perseverance she has sprung to life. All the very best to you all. Cheers Duncan and Trevor for you invaluable input too.

[@helmutzollner5496]

Wow! It is alive! 😂 ❤ Great achievement. Congratulations!

[@davidbramley6730]

Followed you guys for longtime. As retired enginner and welder and someone that messed with engines. Love the dedication , can see the love between you guys that makes this happen. Dave UK

[@rickfazzini22]

That’s reverse “not up on the bridge apparently “ lol Great documenting, thanks for bringing us along for the soon to be ride!

[@davidbrooker4613]

What a beautiful sight...the cat looking over at the dock, that is😀 Terrific progress and the ability to wet her prop and engine properly. Huge congrats to all involved!

[@Nena84734]

I loved the intro with BRUPEG full speed ahead!!! What an amazing episode, very cool to see!

[@JaySea1069]

See problem, fix problem, excellent work everyone, excellent work!

[@waughthogwaugh3078]

Bloody marvellous!

[@jerryrigsit5400]

Awesome to see and hear Brupeg under power.

[@simsjef]

Just another incredible video with amazing incredible people.

[@gillyb333]

Wowo all hand on deck guys! that Chockfast was bigger than Damion welding the front of the boat on hahahaha but thank God it worked great video Everyone xxxx

[@brianbeasley7270]

A nice landmark event!

[@cartertanya1258]

Hi, I wish I'd seen you were using chocfast . Building dam . I'm surprised they didn't give you the material to use ,or at least tell you . Thick neoprene packaging foam . Cut shape out required and push in between bed and foot of engine. Sorry for late info . Do this several times . Worked every time .

[@robaust3049]

“One grit sander…” too funny

[@seanchristie7150]

Fantastic to see the prop turning, can't wait to see the sea trials

[@ptolemy7918]

Great work on the mounts guys - I love it when I see a long run time on the thumbnail👍 won’t be long now whoop! whoop!

[@jaymarlin3565]

Its so very nice and refreshing to see and hear a pretty face and voice - amongst such a group of dirty, old guys..!

[@robda7195]

Good call on the bolts 👍

[@BillyBob38846]

Way to go! Almost ready to hit the seas. 👍

[@waynerudiger1756]

Sweet sweet success. Well done to the whole crew!

[@ProjectBrupeg]

Thanks Wayne

[@JoshKilen]

very nice job.

[@Sircraig7963]

G'day Crew.. Nice job with all the final alignment tolerances. Looking forward to the upcoming sea trials , will be interesting to hear the harmonics of the engine room . Best wishes . Respect...!

[@bartonrobinson4266]

Magnifico's....Beautifully done guy's, all those after thoughts are catching up with you, nothing works better than a successful completion/fixer upper...Messy yes, but done did it...

[@miningwayne935]

She's got some serious thrust! When are we going to see sea trials? Can't wait!

[@rolandtb3]

Success. Ready to test. More success. Forward, reverse. Yahoo.

[@kevlarandchrome]

She lives!

[@jamesvickers3689]

Looking forward to sea trials great channel and great work.

[@normfromhawaii1173]

You folks make some really nice looking parts! With Aloha...

[@gregorythomas333]

You had me at the 1-grit sander :)

[@cyrilkollock]

Great vid! Fun fact, my grandfather invented chockfast in his garage

[@ProjectBrupeg]

Awesome

[@o0Hotiron0o]

Chockadoodle do and dock test too cant wait to see Brupeg make waves ;)

[@canneddragoon]

thank you for giving the alignment tolerance measurement in bananas, I was getting nervous.

[@jmkikkawa]

This was really informative. I thought a lot about whether to use Chockfast when I was re-bedding struts on a FRP boat. I decided to use thickened vinylester and squeeze it of the pocket out instead. Watching you work with it is really so valuable just in terms of understanding the hardness of the cured product. As you know, it's expensive stuff to do trial and error with. The heat released is something I had not considered and could be a fire hazard concern working on a FRP boat.

[@jmkikkawa]

@@teeanahera8949 Nope, it isn't. But smoking hot can be, and a large enough volume of epoxy can get very hot. I've personally been in a situation in which adjacent balsa core began to smoke after I filled a void approximately the volume of a tennis ball with 105/205 on a 80 F day. Wrong hardener for that temperature, and it scared the shit out of me.

[@rickswanberg4995]

Well done on your first thrust!

[@miningwayne935]

Rotating the selector lever on the gearbox 180 degrees and redesigning your cable anchor will solve the forward/reverse issue at the helm, but you guys are all pretty smart, you've probably already solved that issue.

[@amham48]

As a former Teletype technician for models 28/32 etc., you are correct in the QBF test.

[@rossnolan2883]

Awesome 😎 😊😊😊

[@MargaretLeber]

Holy smokes, is that a new intro showing Brupeg underway? Yowza she is beautiful!

[@jayz4771]

There are now four sports where you need to go backwards to move forward. Backstory, rugby, rowing and now Brupeg!

[@whodat90]

They make a product called torque seal used in (among other things) aviation which is kind of like puffy paint in a tube. It’s designed to act like a better version of your paint markers on the nuts and bolts. Since it’s kind of puffy any movement of the bolt at all will break it and a chunk will fall off making it very obvious on a visual inspection.

[@jackdbur]

You should definitely mark all of the exhaust flange bolts.

[@jeffwisemiller3590]

Nail polish from the clearance bin. Who cares what color it is, any movement & it will chip off. I use it as a tamper-proof indicator to see if someone was mucking about.

[@randogame4438]

Holy smokes!! It's aliveeeee!! I had serious doubts about that chockfast but feeling a little better about it now. You spoiled the surprise by showing her underway on your intro but it'll still be nice to hear the Captain announce: Underway, shift colors the first time! Yah making this old Navy sailor feel quite a bit of nostalgia. Best wishes to Brupeg and crew going forward.

[@G0KAD]

Of course the direction contro is reversed, you're down under!

[@renoflames]

I used ChockFast on my Aluminum Boat hull to stop a Leak. It showed me where the leak was and second coat stopped it. They wanted four thousand to replace all the rivets etc. It is a Sea Ark and that was several years ago. Absolutely no problem. Clean surface Pour Dry. It was a $400.00 fix. It will stick to anything. I did use the whole gallon just for the heck of it.

[@sewing1243]

When Captain Jess makes a final decision all hands need to say "aye aye Captain".😉

[@clydedecker765]

Crap .. now what do I do with all these hissys? Little fits running all over the place! Come on! Just a little hissy fit? That engine room.... OK... I won't say anything but.... Great job getting all that mounting done and the first engagement of the prop... Wow. Alert the Coast Guard... Trawler races next Wednesday!!! For Sale - Chock Fast cookies on Black Friday with fancy scalloped edges in a decorative orange.

[@EricHaskins71]

look for Torque Lock/Dykem Cross Check we use it in aviation. So when I preflight I look for cracks in it or if it visibly moved

[@dcallan812]

So a product hat does exactly what it says on the can. It sure sticks FAST. I wonder if you could drill and tap the other holes for the bolt? 🤞 Great update 2x👍

[@winstonwilliams4859]

haha you poured the chock fast out of the water lol, even in the water there are problem ie boats going past while it is still soft my experience was 3 times and midnight pour to get it right

[@Gottenhimfella]

1:50 Pope Julius II: Michelangelo, when will you make an end? MichelAngelo: When I am finished

[@kirkyorg7654]

apparently they got the name wrong should be "Chock-not-so-fast" lmao am so glad its finally done even i was getting "High Anxiety" from the tension what a royal pain in the tuchas that was congrats getting it done things are looking good guys everyone stay safe

[@ipullstuffapart]

It makes me wonder if the more correct technique is to apply a bead of putty around the mounts before putting the engine/trans in place, then have it squish creating a dam for the chockfast. With them in place I wonder if a can of expanding foam would work well for creating the dam along the back instead of corflute/sikaflex. That way you can have it expand to fill the gaps and chisel away any bits that get in the way, then fill with the chockfast.

[@unclesweetiesmodelworks]

Congrats getting the Chockfast kinks worked out and done. Great to see Brupeg in the water and under it's own propulsion!

[@jeremykamel9655]

Great work! I’d guess it’s probably sorted already. Anyway, many of the Morse control levers have the ability to sort the cable reversal problem where the cable hooks up ii side the control lever mechanism.

[@isickofit]

I got a nice log into my prop doing a static run - it can pull a lot of filth up from the ocean Floor/riverbed..

[@garyashdown5376]

Next stop .... Planet Earth ❤😊

[@daver681]

This was a amazing video and I was so glad to see the engine running and the prop turning and moving the boat, I was so glad to see that Chockfast fill and not leak as I am sure you were as well, I do have one question why did you repaint the boat that last time when you had it painted up nice, it looks good but it is just dark and hard to see, keep up the good work and I look forware to seeing the next items working.

[@evangatehouse5650]

Chockfast installation - use release film. To remove: heat. It's an epoxy. Heat gun or torch to melt/burn it.

[@oyou812]

Sweet 😊

[@derekschwanbeck1725]

I have found non hardening clay works real well.

[@Upsidedownorangejuice]

This is so exciting, so much mahi put into this point, and now onwards to it's test run! ~Churr

[@DawidKellerman]

I am with Duncan Just so it and be done!

[@georgedreisch2662]

If spillage is a issue, wouldn’t spraying the area susceptible to spillage with a mold release, ease cleanup? Personally, I’m thinking a machined shim set to allow future adjustment, would have been a better option.

[@robertmalis4493]

That bloody, chalk fast would cause someone to have PTSD 😂 stuff is crazy

[@neiltheplayer]

we call that plastic cardboard "coroplast" great stuff. easy to use and cheap too.

[@MrBiddo]

for future reference I feel like the traditional hot glue and coreflute would be a more rapid solution. Yes I know this is ages old.

[@Ruairi.C]

Great work. If I can make a suggestion, the gearbox oil bung now has a single point of failure. Can you put a blank cap onto the end of the ball valve, this meaning if the ball valve fails or opens then the oil cannot escape. Just my opinion. Well done team

[@ProjectBrupeg]

We have a bung in the end, just didn’t show it on camera

[@isickofit]

Fibreglass is a great mould material.

[@blimpcommander1337]

A little late, but making 3 holes in a paint can grove with a larger nail helps with the pouring. It even outs the flow

[@markweiss6222]

Wow that's prop wash

I got so frustrated watching you struggle with this choc-fast disaster, i nearly emptied a whole liqueur store, and i kept wondering why would somebody put themselves trough this type of torture.......LoL

[@bvheide]

Nicely done. You all did an amazing job on the chockfast. One thing, I don't like the orange. What do you think about redoing it in a hot pink?

[@FreeSpeechWarrior]

I am so proud of you guys. Everyone on your team has become such an expert at so many things. Brupeg has been built solidly with such care and detail. This is very satisfying to watch. I won't lie, I am very anxious to see your sea trials. Then it's only a matter of time before we see Antarctica. BTW, I watched a KZbin series about a homemade catamaran sailing down to Antarctica and the science teams down there invited the sailors to come inside their quarters and drink vodka with them and stay for a little while. Be really careful if you go in the water down there, Leopard seals bite and they are very fast and vicious.

[@thestruggler3338]

the pour was chock-steady

Well named, chock fast.

Dammed well Orgasmic, seeing the power she was throwing behind her...Great job peoples..

Hot Diggity Dog Damn!!!

[@rich1572]

Congrats! One quick question, why no pilot bolts to make a hole in the front mount like on the side mounts?

[@ProjectBrupeg]

The old chockfast mount had sealed off the bottom of each hole. So once realised that it was too late to knock it out. So we started pouring Chockfast knowing we would just need to find a way to drill it out

[@isickofit]

Sculptor as well. Dude.

[@ryanp0342]

Congrats! After so many setbacks and years it seemed like you would never get there, but you did it! Might want to think about securing that ball valve to something or someone doesn't accidentally open it when cleaning the bilge.

[@alan-sk7ky]

If you think chockfast is tough, you haven't encountered hot cure alumina filled epoxy casting resin. alumina blunts everything and the resin wont accept cutting heat , killing cutting tools . 😀 Generally we scraped the cast in parts as you'd mostly knacker'em smashing 'em out

[@mikeskelly2356]

I've always wondered exactly what kind of 'Research' you intend to do, and will it be something that isn't redundant, since there are presently 17 oceanographic vessels in operation. I'm all for 'more' research, but would be interested to see something investigated that is kind of ignored by the big, heavily funded military and university projects. Perhaps something along the lines of the mating habits of the urban Kiwi, or how many James Boags it takes before the pink Narwhals show up... But then, if you couldn't tell, I'm not an Oceanographer...🤪

[@RobertLake-mf2qt]

I guess I do not know what I am talking about, but it seems to me that the engine mount material is not really a good idea. It would seem that typical engine mounts like what is used in motor vehicles (i.e., rubber) would be more appropriate to reduce the engine vibration being transferred to the rest of the ship. I guess I am confused. Thanks for your story.
