Episode 1 Fiberglass reinforcement of ferrocement hull

[@ukrainewarroom]

I thought I recognised that boat and the workshop... Yup, there's Mads & Athena! Great to see your boats progress.

[@calvary1808farm]

Cement boat guy! Happy to find this in my feed and I’m Subscribed!

[@patrickradcliffe3837]

Nice to see you Mr. Cement boat guy! Have a good New Year.

[@SootHead]

Now I see what Mads does on his day off! Looking forward to seeing it float.

[@sailingeden9866]

Enjoyed your video. Thanks for the subtitles.

[@michielderuyter6011]

A lot of work. Respect ✌️

[@tomricketts7283]

Excellent video guys well done :)

[@markthomasson5077]

Interesting. I can understand the use of epoxy. But suspect the inclusion of glass does nothing, in fact may make it slightly worse. The ferrocement base is more than stable enough to take just epoxy. Especially if well prepared, which they seem to have done. Maybe milled glassfibre or similar used with the silica for thickening. That way any possible future issues will be localised

[@davidhakes3884]

If you wish to increase pot life on paint or fiberglass resins put the a and B parts in a refridgerator it really helps in high heat times.

[@R.E.HILL_]

Nice... Have you seen Mads lurking in the bushes looking for opportunities to do some glorious glorious sanding?

[@boat_24-7]

I think we can fill him in with all the sanding ha could ever dream of 😁

[@knutarneaakra6013]

Iam a fiberglass boat builder of trade. Note the most inportent thing when working on fiberglass is getting out all the trapped air.using the steelroller until you get a hard dry sound.

[@stephenadams9767]

why ??? i dont get it

[@johnoflegend1529]

This just made its way into my feed, it is almost 6 months old. Will we see more videos as you progress ?

[@TariqKhan-77]

I have no idea why this iterally showed up in my feed, but now we here, how did the fibreglass hold up ?

[@hasancanbalay]

Why did you need to do this? What is the reason of adding 1 more fiberglass?

[@villacats6790]

What is included in the composition of ferrocement cement for boats? Can it be used for roofing.

[@tyroneshulace3203]

looking forward to more content. What model /make of boat is it? When was it originally cold cast?

[@petercholmondeley5083]

Did this. Completely self-engineered heavy CSM and west system, no reference or advice. 35 y o hull on the hard, sandblasted, dried for at least 3 years. SCREAMING FRUSTRATION when rusty salt water bled through matrix within 3 months! First haulout 12 mo after launching quite a few blisters. Subsequent owner removed all, not adhered at all in some sections. 🤨 Just my experience. Remnants of tar epoxy after sandblsting, that's what I blamed.

Chop strand mat doesn't really work wit epoxy

[@rensm743]

I have a question how can i make the cement for a ship like this?

[@davidhakes3884]

I Like the music/picking so you can't please everyone. lol@ Burlats.

[@sailingsvbohemian1464]

I’m a little late for the party . But that’s a nice barrier coat . Who cares if you have to sand blast the fiberglass later . You’d have to blast off 7 coats of just west systems if you used that alone for a barrier coat the next time the bottom is barrier coated . That shit is like sanding steel . Nice job I bet it will last longer than just epoxy.. it’s been two year have you pulled out .

[@marcdepiolenc1880]

What is the purpose of putting fiberglas over a ferrocement hull?

[@boat_24-7]

The epoxy coating is need to waterproof the hull, and we had a few spots where the steel reinforcement in the hull was exposed after grinding of all the old paint and epoxy. This needed to be covered, so we decided that the best way to insure this was to put one layer of 300 gram bx in to the epoxy coat,

[@robertcooke1774]

@@boat_24-7 absolute nonsense,if its not waterproof it wasnt cured properly. epoxy wont stick to concrete for long .if your grinding off old epoxy you have a badly built hull .i can see how unfair your hull is, a well built hull will be as fair as any boat. small rust spots are just bad tying ,not too much of a problem.the fairing your doing should not be neccesary if professional plasterers worked on your hull.

[@markthomasson5077]

@@robertcooke1774the standard practice to repair reinforced concrete is to use epoxy mortar.

[@alan-sk7ky]

Concrete Boat Guy! 🙂

[@roberthansen329]

3m masking tape will hold that glass up while you wet it out. Then it will peel of easy.

[@RodFleming-World]

Why?

[@aquious953]

If only you could flip the boat upside down to do the glassing

[@paulmyoldfella8034]

3 months later falls off huge bubbles

[@paulbriggs3072]

I doubt epoxy will fall off etched cement. Very unlikely. Maybe polyester but not epoxy.

[@josealemany4525]

You're wrong. I have a boat that had that done 20 years ago.

[@jonathansimmonds5784]

Completely wrong thinking. Please, anyone else seeing this and thinking it's a good idea for their ferro boat, don't do it. They'll find out why one day!

[@robertcooke1774]

yes when it starts liftimg off.

[@boat_24-7]

Do you have any personal experience?

[@bigdog594]

@@robertcooke1774 Wow I did mine about 20 years ago.Maybe I should sell it before it comes off🤯😂😂

[@DanFreark-ou2ci]

😂 what a waste of time and money.worse thing you could have possibly done. Insult to ferro cement as a method of hull contruction

[@Lyndon2]

There is probably a reason they didn't make more videos

[@burlatsdemontaigne6147]

Nice pictures. Terrible music.
