I can’t wait to see the finished product. You’re really something Fiona, always impress me. ❤❤

[@justlooking1985]

Omg Fiona, you are a women after my own heart! ❤️ I love doing DIY projects at home too.

[@tigereye508]

Great lamination, Fiona. The reflection on the water is beyond beautiful 😍

[@lauracwhitney]

Peeling that resin looks very satisfying!!!!

[@Maria-p1b2u]

Looking forward to seeing the finish. 👍

[@JessDoby]

Happy Laminating🎉

[@mkjackson55]

Love you guys...looks like a great product.

[@lemontrifle5542]

Excellent video & tips. Thanks ❤️

[@avissmith8384]

Glad you found a good use for the mould Fiona 🤣🤣🤣 Laminate on❤

[@truthforall1303]

Fiona you’re so funny and you’ve shown us how how something so simple makes you happy. I’ve been concreting a base for hubbys new shed and he’s over the moon 🤗🤗🤗

[@elainaworsley470]

Well done hun. ❤

[@angiesharp5840]

Fiona, I just love you. I’m sitting here with a drink laughing my ass off 😂😂😂😂

[@jimmylapham3483]

Well done . I enjoyed DYI when I was a younger. 👏👏👏👏👏❤️

[@natriches]

Thank you, Fiona and Graham, for being a blessing to me. God bless you and keep you.

[@grahamthebaronhesketh.]

Thank you so much. Graham and Fiona xxx

[@theduchessofmearns]

Good work Fiona. Well done.

[@anj6787]

I love peeling the dried paint out of paint trays! 😅

[@Foxys-Collective-Videography]

Very interesting update indeed 🙂. Always nice and wonderful hearing all that yourself and Fiona are recently up to 😊. Certainly hoping all goes well with the work on your boat ok. Many best wishes to you both 😊😉😉😊. From your friend Foxy in Brighton, East Sussex, England, UK 😊😊😉😉😊😊.

[@suewaye720]

Good luck with your boat repairs ❤ love from Australia 🎉

[@janeharley8244]

Well done 👏 Fiona. You are doing well. ❤

[@maryj5593]

You make me feel inadequate 😂😂😂 Fiona I am struggling these last few days and I have done bugger all with my decorating. Seriously you are an inspiration. Thank you 🌞

[@dulciemidwinter1925]

It's taken me 2 years to make a pair of curtains and I still haven't finished! I keep stowing them away in a cupboard, and when guilt takes over, I start on them again. I hate it so much! I really admire you for just rolling up your sleeves and getting on with it.

[@annebroos1377]

The boat repairs are so interesting! You are admired for your skill and determination.

[@txkitkat1307]

Fiona looked like should was standing in front of a nighttime marina painting in the thumbnail. Very pretty ❤

[@Grannylovescoffee]

Love watching❤

[@marilynwade9448]

Well done ❤❤❤❤

[@Demoiselle21]

Ha! Love it Fiona (and the mould🤦🏻‍♀️😂 )

[@pamelamorrow56]

Very cool. ❤❤❤

[@minwade5436]

Well done Fiona, hard work pays off especially when the stevia crew are grinding yr gears. Hope you get a great night’s sleep. Sending cyber hugs to all. 😘💐🦘🐨 3:36 🇦🇺

[@jillfarley520]

Fiona, I find this so interesting, very keen to try my hand doing this!

[@debc7341]

This brings back 50 yr memories for me. Oh how we spread paint, resins, and all sorts of stuff. We tried to clean rollers and we just resorted to buying new 😅I can’t wait to see your handiwork. Good job👍🏻‼️

[@ladymaria6697]

Very nice job ! 😇👍

[@minnyneumann3323]

Love watching you with your work on your boat Fiona & it doesn’t look like I’m the only one…

[@LesleyClarke-px9nr]

Fiona you are so FUNNY!! When I was younger I used to make fibreglass crash helmets!! It is very tricky stuff 😨😨 and the glass from the fiber sticks in your skin it's horrid

[@natalietrujillo7455]

As an Artist Fiona; please be careful with the fumes. I’m an ex smoker but I have lung damage from painting and relief painting using same resins. I’m not stopping because I love the work but I now take precautions. Our children and grand children need us.

[@Lalunabreeze]

Oh ya, careful 😊

[@lindacleveland1289]

Well done Fiona you’re a grafter 👌

[@PippyPan]

Nice 👍

[@chuckyc6912]

You are an incredible person. Keep up the great videos. Stay strong don’t let anyone get under your skin

[@brendagoodwin7365]

Great Job!!!!

[@donnaagell2668]

Have fun and enjoy ❤️🐞🇺🇸🪣🌻

[@pamelacox4103]

Job well done

[@winkieblink7625]

You crack me up…painting with a woolie on! Lol

[@KayShinn-q9o]

Omg Fiona you are brilliant!

[@Susanmuir2]

Well done you Fiona!

[@simonefeaster5131]

Haha, Fiona!!! Well done, you😂❤

[@Adrieballard44]

Beautious! Fiona

[@pierrettehebert3044]

You’re hilarious (& such a hard worker). In the damn hospital (again). You’re a positive in my day

[@SueProv]

Well done Fiona. Screw the nuts.

[@natalietrujillo7455]

Throw the roller away!!!

[@kathlightburn466]

So don't sugar coat Fiona, say it how it is 😂😂😂😂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Yippee x

[@jenniferlynch-z9k]

Hi Graham and Fiona, Re the FILM fused to windows.Give this a try Put a series of scratches in the film, then completely cover a small spot with a piece Of newspaper that’s been soaked in Eucalyptus Oil. Leave for a few hours or overnight. Try to get paper flush to glass so the oil penetrates Scrape off then wash with Very hot soapy Water.(gloves to protect your hands) Can’t hurt might help. It’s probably not the the film so much as the adhesive that bonds the film to the glass. If it works in small spot then ………. Hope this is of some use, Love from Jen in Australia

[@natalietrujillo7455]

Cheap rollers “throw away” bye Bye!!!! Sugars cheap!!!! Bye bye! !!!

[@MomPuff-b9w]

Dear Fiona you never cease to amaze me!! You truly are such a hard-worker!! Yay 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 to you!! Much love and blessings as always!!🙌🏻🦋❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@edjopago1]

Fiona is the DYI Queen!!!!💖⚓🛥🪣

[@karenlerman6207]

Hear hear!

You cant keep a good woman down😅

[@kimmcdiarmid2937]

[@pamelalipscomb8332]

You’ve been very productive today. Sounds like a job well done.

[@l.d.1385]

Great job. Can't wait to see your finished product . Love you both❤❤

[@jimbo6059]

Nice one Fiona.

[@stephward4601]

Good on you ❤ learn something every day. X

[@littleladyd1]

Great job! Love that you're always thinking outside the box 📦

[@KayShinn-q9o]

You are tenacious like me and I'm 69

[@Dragonfly-LazyDynamite]

Kick ass Fiona ❤😊

[@stephenmagnus9379]

Depends on the type of Hardener, you might find that too much will leave pockets of un-reacted Hardener ... certain types are hygroscopic and make the finished laminates susceptible to deterioration due to moisture .... atmospheric moisture will gradually diffuse through the cured resin, degrading both adhesion and interlaminer strength .... Have you made any test specimens for long term exposure to prove your theory? ...

[@lindalaw5466]

I think she has, it’s called the roof of the boat……..

[@fionahesketh]

You're spot on and we've had our issues with reactions, but after 21 years of experimentation I'm pretty good at guessing how much, how long to mix it, and how long I've got to get it on depending on temperature, humidity and atmospheric conditions, whether in UK or Spain. It's been a hell of a long road to get it right, but I'm pretty good at it now (patting myself on the back lol)

[@grahamthebaronhesketh.]

You are such a Boffin Stephen

[@stephenmagnus9379]

@@grahamthebaronhesketh. during my 20 years in research in Adhesives and Composites, one of my research papers was on "Optimisation of the mix ratio of 2 part Epoxy Resin systems" ... this involved mixing and testing cured resin & hardener samples, with between + / - 15% of the manufacturers recommended hardener quantity. By use of primarily a Differential Scanning Calorimetry, i determined a) The optimum resin to hardener ratio ... b) A simpler and quicker way to test samples from Vital Production bonded items for quality assurance. The adhesive system we used had around a 1/3 extra tertiary Amines to promote hardening strength ... However, unreacted Amines are hygroscopic and readily absorb moisture, thus decreasing long term properties. By reducing the hardener ratio needed, we reduced the amount of unreacted Amines .... Below is the technical bit, explaining how tertiary Amines don't themselves react with the base resin ... Most primary amine curing agents that are used have more than one primary amine per molecule so that crosslinking and therefore network development occur. A secondary amine will react with only one epoxy group. The reaction rate of the secondary amine with an epoxy resin is much slower than that of a primary amine. In contrast, tertiary amines which have no active hydrogens, will not react with epoxy resins but can cure epoxy resins catalytically, resulting in homopolymerization. Tertiary amines also accelerate the cure of primary and secondary amines with epoxy resins.

[@grahamthebaronhesketh.]

@@stephenmagnus9379 Yes you certainly know your stuff Stephen. Helicopter blades are super critical to get everything right. Fiona just wants to keep rain water out of the boat.

[@suehall3298]

Brilliant Fiona 🤗👍☕🍰🌹 Love Sue❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤

[@carine4318]

Tiny dot on paper for blackhead removal 😂 Yup heat and weather conditions does make a difference

[@lorrifrench4460]

Fiona, You should have your own DYI show. Can’t wait to see when your finished with this latest project. God bless ❤

[@charlottereitberger6253]

Fiona u never cease to amaze me . ❤🇺🇸

[@CarolePowell-q9i]

Good evening Fiona, What do you mean mould in the laminator, Fiona ??? 🤔🤔🤔

[@tctc1801]

oh that mixture sure is amazing, does the roller width makes a difference, i would have thought a wider roller would be used but what do i know, i only ever painted rooms , that boat coming along whooo

[@carolespencer2867]

Great work

[@kellyhall7533]

Go Girl GO!! You Rock!! From your fans in TEXAS, USA 🇺🇸

[@Begoodmostofthetime]

Fiona , you are a fabulous warrior of temerity and independence. Your family is very lucky to have you! Stay blessed and independent . Both in mind and spirit.

[@soniagodfrey8565]

Well done Fiona,keep up the good work,I need some false nails,how about it, 😞😞 take care you two

[@sandy12183]

Fiona, you are such a card!!! I can't wait to see how the resin top looks. Wait I forgot the paint and MOLD. Love you lady, keep up the hard work💞👋

[@Lynn-r8h]

American here who is clueless about boats. Is this a sealer?

[@RosieLee777]

Can we see result's tomorrow???

[@V.C.S69]

You’ve created an interesting piece of abstract art there Fiona.😄

[@JAMBA_]

😊

[@Lalunabreeze]

The brushes are --💰. So I often buy a new one. Plus, usually can’t find the other ones. In the pool shed,somewhere in the garage??

[@louonUT]

Amazing Fiona

[@joanlalonde6601]

You are such a talented gal. Well done

[@stephaniefox7922]

👏👏👏💚🇦🇺

[@RosieLee777]

I love watching you both, I've only come recently in the past month to watch you both. Do you know I feel welcomed, as if I'm with you, dropped by for a cup of tea, and we're having a quick gossip over the cups. Or I'm just passing, and you're filling me in. I feel included, and many other you tubers don't give that feeling, they're there for them, for theirselves. But I feel you two impart information, and share yourselves. It's so nice, and comfortable, the end of the video I feel, oh do I have to go? 😢. Much love to you both.

[@Stormy1964]

I think you are my hero. You do stuff I think I could never do. But now, it's like what the helll, research and sit and look, and see what might happen, and get on with it. Thank you. So much love to you and your beautiful family.

[@Jennifer-pp6oj]

You are doing great, Fiona =). You are such a hard worker, you are so talented. God Bless you and Graham and all of your loved ones =). 🙏✝💝💖💜💙💚💛

[@karenlerman6207]

Fiona, you are my heroine! Whenever I have a bad day I just watch you in the water with a ciggie and a glass of wine and imagine how relaxing it is 😀

Dear Graham, hve u come across Tim Davies of FAST JET PERFORMANCE podcaster on yt? Forgive Mr if u hve. I immediately thought of u remembering yr love of flying! He's on an unusual rant about Huw Edwards verdict, as we all are: apoplectic with rage! Stay in Gib, lovely F&G Yogic Meditations 4 yr Recovery

[@grahamthebaronhesketh.]

Yes I have been following Tim for years even when he was in the airforce, Thanks for that.

[@natalietrujillo7455]

Perfect! I’m an artist and know exactly what you’re doing.

[@Marcia_Toms]

You’re doing well Fiona 😊👍 x

[@LindaWagner-fi2py]

[@asseyez-vous6492]

The smell of turps is the worst part of painting (love the smell of filler though). You’re doing a fantastic job ❤
