Hi Jason :-) Yes there will be more vids showing the rest of this project through completion. I was hoping to have Part 3 up this weekend but it looks like it's going to be sometime this coming week.. Thanks for the comment and please remember to subscribe to my channel if you haven't done so already :-)

great stuff. I like the idea for the cleats with the shims to push the panel down. Probably a stupid question, but what did you pre-seal the plywood with before laying the 403?

Thank you so much for these vids. So helpful. Curious would coosa work for this type of replacement considering the bottom should be glassed? I guess you have the bottom laminate there and it is bonded with the epoxy. I have a much larger recore job and I’d much rather use coosa or other composite material

Agreed that it would be a good idea, but I typically don't wear glasses when working face down with thick resin / epoxy.. It would almost require an electric egg beater for it to splash in any way :-)

Love your videos! I have an older trawler, and there is a lot of water damage in the walls of the wheelhouse, especially under the windows. I am almost done tearing out the rotted plywood core, and was wondering if replacing it all around the vertical sections of the wheelhouse, especially where the windows will need to be re-bedded, is essentially the same process. Can I just do a couple layers of 1708 and skip the plywood, then insulate with closed cell foam, and cover with like frp? That is kind of my plan. Oh I am working from the inside out, as the gel coat is pretty much ok, just major leaks under the windows. Also I am going to be working in colder weather down in the harbor (around 30-45 deg f.) Are there any recommendations for working with fiberglass in this kind of environment? Thank you so much, I really get a ton of info from your videos!

Thanks for the video. I do have a question, what did you use to seal the plywood before epoxy?
@boatworkstoday12 жыл бұрын
That corner didn't let loose but it is a little proud. For some reason that section of the pocket that was cut out wasn't the same thickness as the rest of the area.. I think there's a bulkhead underneath that one section that was put in a little stiff. My guess is that thinner squares of plywood were used in that area to compensate for the un-evenness... I take care of that issue in the next episode :-) Good catch!!

Great information. Do recommend marine grade plywood for the core, or doesn't it matter if its sandwiched between layers of glass?
@boatworkstoday8 жыл бұрын
I do. It's a much better material and so much easier to work with!! The sheets are dead flat (no warping) making it easier to fit into place

How's it going. I'm looking at doing a similar job on a J24. The main wench has allowed water to destroy the core. Was wondering what type of wood you used for you core replacement. Thanks.

Is there a reason you don't use core bond? Or is it not structurally sound enough?I've used core bond on bulkheads after using plexus to fill in small voids

Ok I see you used the epoxy sorry I was a bit distracted watching this. Is there something less expensive I can use to seal it before hand?

I saw on another channel they put the container of mixed epoxy into a larger container of ice water to control the heat and slow the cure.

would it be a good idea to use a syringe to inject the thickened epoxy into the gap ?

Just straight epoxy mixed with the hardener :-) Not a silly question at all! There's a lot that I had to edit out in order to get the video down to 10-12 minutes. Some details just don't make it :-(

Did you sand the plywood after pre seal/ before laying it in to be bonded?
@boatworkstoday11 жыл бұрын
Nope :-) That's actually the best way to do this (similar to laying tile) but I didn't have one and didn't feel like cutting up my nice metal spatula! That being said, a notched trowel is what I normally use but it's kind of a 'one use item' when working with epoxy.. Great comment!

to get the 403 into the sidewall edges i would of used some kind of caulk gun or squrt bottle,maybe even a pastry bag lol . that would of been faster and more effective i think

I have a rear sun deck that had a layer of balsa core then few layers of glass then another layer of balsa core then the outer skin long story short both layers of core are bad could squeeze water out of the balsa once I started removing it. real wet stuff almost the whole sunpad was delaminated. question is can I replace the balsa with plywood instead the balsa was 1/2 cores so using 1 inch ply with your reliefe cuts like you did in this video.
@boatworkstoday9 жыл бұрын
+John Hainer Structurally yes, but there will be a significant weight increase. That high up it will likely cause more rocking / rolling under way. Also the supports for the deck may not be designed for that much weight load. Personally I'd stick with balsa again or possibly looking into using foam matting.. Hope this helps!
@johnhainer16949 жыл бұрын
It does thank you enjoyed your videos. here's a link to the boat I am working on you can see the hatch in one of the pics it's only 33x60 rear engine hatch. it had 2 layers of balsa both delaminated from each other and from the outer skin for a total thickness of an inch. figured I would use birtch ply 3/4 to replace with a few more layers of glass wet out the wood to seal then 2 layers of glass on the hatch while wet set the wood in screw from back side until setup then add 2 more layers of glass over the top then one layer of cloth. that was the plan anyways :) but here is the photos. goo.gl/photos/cVaJQMc98gC9XUDEA thank you

@jamesbaldwin76762 жыл бұрын
The reason you're having soft-deck issues in the first place, is due to the wood core. It my not be wet now, but at some point in time, it certainly did get wet and certainly did rot. They do make various synthetic core materials and you can buy them. They are lighter, stronger, won't absorb water, won't rot etc. They've been around a long time (my 1976 sailboat has a synthetic cored deck.) If you're going through all the trouble of trying to fix spongy deck and soft-spots, why not really fix them? You will never be able to guarantee the job otherwise. BTW, I would never buy a boat with a wood cored deck, even if it showed zero soft spots. (I have in the past.) It was a bad, construction idea then and remains a bad idea now.
