Are We Crazy for Doing This? DIY Spray Foam Insulation | Ch 5 E 99 | Steel Boat Restoration

[@ezmn9663]

Amazing. The level of effort, execution. and most importantly perserverance is great to watch. Bravo!

[@WaywardLifeSailing]

Thanks! And thanks for watching!

It is very satisfying to see the thickness of the bottom plate at 0:17! 3:14 "... and all that nonsense..." LOL I think I did not mind my own business about that but I am not sure... The intent is good so I will repeat it: Are you guys thinking of installing conduit within all the foam to fish wires and pluming later-on? Maybe something to think about. Here I am finishing removing most of the water tanks and pluming, and that is what I am doing, conduit so I can fish new wiring and new PEX pluming.

[@WaywardLifeSailing]

I remember u saying that and us thinking about it, but didn’t end up happening. The wiring will be a few episodes on its own though… 😂😂

I welded my own 13 meter steel sailboat, splashed year 2000. Then the boat was back on land in 2002 and spray foamed. 2-part poleurethane foam. Thicknes from 30- to 50 mm and 500 mm below water line. So, after more than 20 years in the sea, no cndensation, zero corrosion inside/outside. And the foam stics to the steel. And with a 4 kW diesel heater, I have 20 deg C on inside, whilst outside is 10- to 15 below freezing. Have to add that by education/work I have spesialized in steel constructions, welding and corrosion protection ( I have been working offshore on oil production platforms in North Sea, Norway). Quite a job you have taken on, I must say. Impressed.

[@WaywardLifeSailing]

Wow thanks for sharing! Always helps to know someone else has had great results with similar processes.

[@boatelectricaldiy]

Closed cell foam is the only way to go. My fiberglass ship is way more solid since I insulated it. It's vital on a steel ship to avoid rust from condensation.

[@WaywardLifeSailing]

That has definitely been our experience! No regrets on the decision to put it back in

[@johndavidson6867]

Things are looking good, even the boat. Won't be no time at all you will be not only making waves, but playing in them.

[@WaywardLifeSailing]

We were watching last year when you started in the forward cabin, you both must be so happy to be at the point of re-assemble.

Hey Logan, I met you guys last month on Brian's ship. I'm looking forward to seeing how your refit progresses. Thank you for the update.

Hey, things are finally moving along in a good direction. We are going to start looking at the electrical in a couple weeks and I would love to pick your brain on that, if you’ve got the time.

Great job!!!

[@WaywardLifeSailing]

Thank you!!

[@Andre-yu3qs]

Fantastic! The end result is the most important thing, and all the work was done by the two of you. Thank you for sharing.

[@WaywardLifeSailing]

We can’t wait to be back onboard! Thanks for watching! 😍😍

[@sailingjano]

Amazing job, but leave all the hatches open as long as posible. So that the gases can flow away. The mix of the poleol and the isocyanate gives very bad and dangerous gasses for human people. I hope that the spits on your lenses can be swiped away without damage. But anyway sprayfoam is the best solution 👍👍👍👍👍

[@WaywardLifeSailing]

Yeah it’s nasty! We made sure to air things out well. Good thing it works as well as it does 😂😂

[@sailingculwatty6378]

what product did you guys use this time?

[@WaywardLifeSailing]

It’s called DAP Touch ‘n Foam professional. Just got it off the shelf at Home Depot. It’s the big boxes in the saloon in the video

[@Aviation2See]

Sorry u cant spray-foam a steel boat. U need inspection access to the hull. You will have rust problems in the future

[@WaywardLifeSailing]

25 years of the only places on our boat without rust being under proper spray foam would prove that incorrect. And we are def not the only people what that experience. Nothing on a steel boat is a perfect solution.
