    Great job! I found your channel awhile ago and subbed from my other account . This is our boat refit channel we have started. I really liked your video on applying gelcoat. We had many repairs to do and found it very stressful thinking I had to buy and figure out how to use a spay gun etc. Plus the mess and overspray going everywhere. The paintbrush/roller idea is just so much easier and I think I can tackle myself. Thank you! Anyway.....a quick question. What is the name of the glue for the countertop. I purchased Corian used from someone tearing out a kitchen and want to resuse in our boat. I've watched a few videos but I can't seem to find the glue mentioned. Obviously it must come in colours like grey? Also where did you purchase it? If need be I may have to ship it to Canada 🇨🇦 Thanks again.

    • @RefitandSail
      @RefitandSail 2 дня назад

      To be honest I’m not sure what the counter top glue is but you need to get it from the supplier/manufacturer of the countertop so that it is colour matched, this hides any joins. Pleased you like the videos and good luck with your channel, starting out is hard graft but pushing through the doubts is worth it if you enjoy the process.

    Looks very nice. Not sure I would choose that type of composite ceramic myself but is popular in homes so I guess if people like it why not. I think I would prefer a bit more forgiving surface. I was looking a one boat on line and they had put in an old style butler sink. Couldn't help thinking why would anyone do that. Watching you work I can't help thinking measure twice cut once. In my case that would be measure ten times and I would still probably cock it up. Getting that stonework exact and offering it up a bunch of times without breaking it must be a relief. Well done on a nice job.

      Sure, you could do that, the only issue may be that as the voltage rises on the engine batt the dc to dc charger may then tick in and start trying to charge the domestic bank so you may need to disable the dc to dc if you are charging from 240. Hope that makes sense.

It’s more common to have the shore power battery charger on the domestic bank because that’s the one that gets worked hard and pulled down by the systems on the boat. There should be noting on the engine start battery apart from the engine and that recharges once the engine is running. You could do it the way you suggest but it would be slightly out of the ordinary (but it would work. I would personally stick with the more normal arrangement and charge the domestic bank direct off the 110.
