When you’re using that thickened epoxy… make sure to paint the surfaces with “unthickened” epoxy right before. The unthickened will absorb into the substrate and allow a much better bond for the thickened epoxy if you apply the thickened immediately following and before the unthickened cures :-). Great work! Keep the videos coming. You’re making great progress!! Enjoying the vids!
thank you for this advice. l wanted to write the same but you did it better . maybee Marc finds out that there are better spatuls than this wooden mixing piece ✌️
That's what I was about to say. I was also going to say that he should treat the rot with thinned penetrating epoxy, and then coat it all with regular (non-tinned or thickened) epoxy, and lastly fill with thickened. One other tip is, being that its a part that is constantly moving, I would recommend using a low density filler like West Systems 407, it will give the coating a little more flexibility and should be less prone to cracking from vibrations or lite impacts.
Mark build a bench from scrap pallets and whatever you can find. Working at the right height and in the shade will make the work way easier, scrabbling around on the ground soon gets demoralising. Looking grand keep going.👍
Sorry Mark but seeing the out of the packet fibreglass cloth laid out in the dirt was sloppy! Also wouldn't it be cheaper to buy the fibreglass cloth in bulk given how much you are going to be using?
I was thinking the same, it'll save mark a sore neck and sore back which he can't afford at this stage. Look after yourself Mark, it's a marathon mate :) Great job btw
Looked down the comments in hope of finding that someone had already said this ... that scene from 9:20 where you are exhausted looks to me like you have discovered a lot of what Amsterdam is famous for - lager etc Lovely to see that chap introduce himself at about 17 mins - though lots of people said 'hello' - marvellous!
There is something very satisfying having a cup of coffee Saturday morning (NZ time) and watching Mark work. I feel I have done a days work too and can now relax for the rest of the day, LOL. The guys below are spot on, thin epoxy first it will seal much better.
👍👌👏 This episode reminded me of your last rudder fixing video. But, although two rudders, these ones are definitely in better shape and you fixed them well and fast. 2) Please kindly allow me to tell and suggest something: Absolutely anything is better than working on the ground in the dirt (Pakistani truck style for instance 😁). Bending over will wear you out, even if you will only realise it 20 years later (but then it's too late of course). So please kindly allow me to suggest to build yourself an inexpensive workbench or table in the shade. Respectively at least use your folding workbench. Put an inexpensive white tarp over the structure between the two hulls to create a dry and shady work space. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards, luck and health in particular.
As a boatbuilder myself, a little tip! Applying epoxy, or polyester resin, is so much easier with a foam roller than using a paintbrush! You can often consolidate the epoxy at the same time as applying the epoxy. I love your videos, and keep up the great work.
A couple sets of saw horses will make your hard day a little easier. And hopefully keep you off your hands and knees. Your doing a great job love your youtubes
I'll admit I was one to sit there and say ur crazy for buying that boat. But I tell you what I love watching your boat repair videos. Keep up the good work man. Hello from South Florida USA
Toughing it _OUT_ ! Looks like laboring on a construction site - sure it feels like it too. Just remember _why_ you're there and what you're gonna get out of it. You could be just grafting away to pay rent on somewhere to lie down and the fuel to get to the job that's slowly killing your will to live .. ... . Huge difference! Good call on the through-hull through-holes; they were just _asking_ for trouble! _SOLID_ !
Please wear a mask when mixing the powdered epoxy filler so you don’t give yourself silicosis or something nasty. Love the videos, have been watching for years. Keep up the awesome work.
Remember to watch ur mental health mate this is a lot to take on but you will have a beautiful boat and it will be you that done this and keep thinking of the open sea when it all done 😊
AHOY from Sweden ! Nice jazz. Very good work on the rudders. You are doing all I would do. Extending the glassing would be pointless. Sanding off glass is best restricted, in favour of adding filler to fair the edge. You are competently finishing a great job done by the original builder. Well done Mark !
Way the best music on any of the sailing channels I watch, thank you! Perhaps your subtitle should be ‘Adventures of a Young Sea Dog’, as Barry’s is the only other channel whose music I like!
Some good comments, especially putting a plastic bag over and smoothing it down, saves work later. Also trim before it has gone hard. My big concern is that the ply you are fully encapsulating has dried out sufficiently. Epoxy is great for keeping water out….similarly it keeps it in! I have a cheap moisture meter to check. Ok it is not particularly accurate, but does give a good indication.
Congrats, that is a great looking 4JH. We were the Yanmar dealer in Cadiz. We re-engined quite a few boats from Perkins to Yanmar. Never had a disappointed customer. Too bad you can’t use the gearbox, hope you get top dollar for it.
Its great youre still in contact with Hanneka as she is a wealth of information. She can steer you in the right direction in creating your engine boxes and might even have plans.
If I might share a tip with respect to spreading the filler and forcing it into the cracks: Further to the wet-out point raised above, I have found that using a flexible metal "decorator's knife" - or a plastic spatula for that matter - makes it easier to smooth the thickened epoxy and force it in - you want something with as little surface friction as possible (it's the same deal for plastering: please don't ask me how I found this out!) :D Good work fella.
Totally agree, you definitely need a flexible and slippery spatula /knife and apply much more force to push the filler right it, you do seem to be "patting" it into place rather than getting it into the repair area. And def wet the surface with epoxy first for a better join. Great to see the progress though, thanks for sharing the videos 👍🙂
You can make your own spreaders using discarded plastic milk cartons. Cut the thin plastic container into shapes with a scissor. Tongue depressors are also a cheap tool for stirring and spreading.
Jaz goes well with the ever growing facial hair! Good solid progress occurring. I thought you were mad with your choice of vessel but I have a growing feeling that you are going to make me eat my words. Go well!
Crackin job brother!! 💙 I spent a year rebuilding and modernizing an old sail boat. Been a live aboard for 8-9 months now, but I'm only just getting over the trauma that it caused me 🤪
As always,,,soo freaking proud of you Mark! In My humble opinion & as a result of your very tight time line is, for the soo many generous offers of help,,,,,to be specific, focussed & productive! ,,,& before you know it,,,it'll be splash time - yehhhhhhh👏⛵️👏 Love, as always,,🌈🌻Momma🌻🌈 i hope that all made sense!!!🫢
To save heaps of sanding I’ve taken to laying out the “cut to size” glass mat on a flat board with a film of glad wrap on it. Then wetting it out with epoxy is a breeze and you can pick the glad wrap and saturated mat up as one and put it in place “sticky” side down. A bit of smoothing with a roller or scraper and leave to cure. Once cured, the glad wrap peels off easily for better finish and a lot less mess.😁Cheers& Beers from Down Under🍻
Hi Mark, one thing I missed you doing was going over all the added fibreglass with a metal roller to get out all the air bubbles that get trapped underneath, just putting more epoxy on with a brush doesn't do it, also overlaps will be smoother and won't need so much sanding for a good finish. You're welcome 😉. Good idea to finish the hulls first, the rest if need be, done in the water. Crack on young man 🤗
When applying glass, I find it a lot easier to wet the glass out first then apply it - especially with difficult to access areas. Also same for taping. When going round a radius such as the corner of the rudders, cut wedges/lines out/in to allow better adaption and finish. And when dispensing resin/catalyst by pump, keep the containers vertical!! Looking good and taking shape nicely!
Please think about buying a few key tools Mark. It will save you time, energy and money. The old penknife doesn't seem to cut the mustard. And please knock up a proper work bench 🙏🏽
That's the way mark..! Stay determined.. Focused.. and happy in your work.. 🥴😂😂DON'T KILL YOURSELF take each day as it comes but afford yourself time off.. Break the routine if you have too.. Make sure you have a rest each day and get some scoff down ya mate.. Fuel the body 😋 and a beer too ( AFTER THE EVENT) 🍻.. It all looks tedious work PREP BEING THE KEY but what I can see its looking good .. till your next vlog 🙏👍👏👏👏💯🇬🇧 ps beans on toast with brown sauce..! Pilchards on toast with brown sauce..!! Spam with fried egg on toast with red sauce.!!! Salt and copious amounts of black pepper quick foods to lift ya SPIRIT MY FRIEND 👍
Nah mate you've gone down the sides far enough. Doing great job so far. Also comparing what I see now compared to minke you've gained a lot of experience and skill. Keep it up mate.
@marc, @ 5:26 , i wouldnt want to repair the 'scratched away and picked at' edge of my rudder. Id like a 6" half-moon shaped divet, somewhat round and smooth, very consistent, like youd achieve with a grinder . this is a great example of what im talking about. the amount of time, energy, and built-back-stronger-than-every efficiency you can achieve will make you , happier, more confident, enthused, and way faster than trying not to take too much out, being more complicated and less invasive, etc. the only way id want to use that microballon epoxy batch in the edge of my rudder like that, would be vacuum bagged.
Did you know there are pressure-washer noses which suck in sand into the water making them some sort of sand blaster? They are probably rentable, but the karcher ones cost around 80 bucks. The sand has to be pretty fine. There are special kinds of sand, but I did it with just very fine one and it worked.
Love the music Mark, nice choices. I know this is a stupid question, but why don't you have a table to work on? You will be an expert fiberglasser by the end of the project. Great progress, fun to watch.
At this point it's fair to say the goal is to get to England asap... a wise sailor will replace the rudders before sailing the world.... often the parts that are overlooked by the inexperienced fail catastrophically!!!
South African box wine! Just put an ice cube in it and it will go down better. I am an Englishman living in SA and have ice with everything now. As to practical advice, just one thing. Get some pallets so you can build a quick, cheap bench. As others have said, it will keep your work away from the nasty gravel and help your aches and pains. Keep going mate. Well done
This video is so relatable. I am in the process of starting to renovate my parents house......Holy Shit is the mental total exhausting!!!!!!! Not to mention the physical side of it all
for fiberglass itchy blow up a balloon rub it in your hair and it will pick up all the glass that makes you itchy hope this help it always worked for me back in the day....oh and for filler you can just use baby powder it works just as good for filling and a lot cheaper and dont let the fiberglass matting get wet with water or moisture.... as I see it your doing a very good job keep up the great work
Where you're picking bits out, I might have been tempted to use the neat epoxy to wet it out before applying the thickened ... I'm sure it'll be fine though.
I've done a lot of boatwork, grinding, glassing, and sanding. You're doing a great job. Stay stocked up on coffee and you'll be sailing away soon enough. Cheers!
Nice one man

Yes, otherwise the epoxy will migrate out of the filler into the wood grain and possibly create a resin starved joint.

I came here to say the same
I came to say the same… pour plain epoxy into the void first, then fill with thickened. Great work though admire your pace.
Thanks
Good music, great work.
Mark build a bench from scrap pallets and whatever you can find. Working at the right height and in the shade will make the work way easier, scrabbling around on the ground soon gets demoralising. Looking grand keep going.👍

Going to comment the same.
A bench and clamps are prerogative.
an ex tradie.
Great advice. Bending over plus sunburn saps major energy. Also, putting the suit on/off is a pain, but totally worth it on glass work.
even a plastic folding table
Backing tune really swings!!!!
I like it that “Granny” is donating weekly 😂
Nothing dodgy! This is your dream boat, do they best job possible!
Great work, thank you for your nice videos.
Looked down the comments in hope of finding that someone had already said this ... that scene from 9:20 where you are exhausted looks to me like you have discovered a lot of what Amsterdam is famous for - lager etc
Lovely to see that chap introduce himself at about 17 mins - though lots of people said 'hello' - marvellous!
Thanks!can't wait for the end product.
Your content is very important for my week
I liked the jazz background...good work as usual!
Thank you for the video señor!!!❤😊

Wonderful job. It's always good to do your best, that way it won't come back and bite you later. Love that music.

Agreed, seal the holes below the waterline, unless you need cooling of some sort..

Think I would use a plastic bag with corner off to inject filler into cavities to ensure whole space is filled.
Agree. Sailing Yaba...just used same type, cake decorating filler bags..
Very fulfilling work - hold steady, man, hold steady. She'll get there, and then Yee Haw.
Best background music of any sailing channel
A couple sets of saw horses will make your hard day a little easier. And hopefully keep you off your hands and knees. Your doing a great job love your youtubes
good on you. protect the leading edge, the other will keep you up but the leading edge takes the most abuse. good on you!
rudders or bow, still the leading edge
You doing amazing job ..after all its ur home
I'll admit I was one to sit there and say ur crazy for buying that boat.
But I tell you what I love watching your boat repair videos. Keep up the good work man.
Hello from South Florida USA
Good show old boy.
THE RUDDERS LOOK GOOD... and the repair in the well for the rudder came out good ... 😊😊😊
Toughing it _OUT_ !
Looks like laboring on a construction site - sure it feels like it too. Just remember _why_ you're there and what you're gonna get out of it.
You could be just grafting away to pay rent on somewhere to lie down and the fuel to get to the job that's slowly killing your will to live .. ... .

My thoughts as well on the Jazz.
omg jada ''''are you crazy ? the work i saww done was so bad
I thought you were drinking West system for a second, was going to say, Mark…it’s not THAT bad!
Way the best music on any of the sailing channels I watch, thank you! Perhaps your subtitle should be ‘Adventures of a Young Sea Dog’, as Barry’s is the only other channel whose music I like!
A couple or more cheap trestle tables would probably help a bunch too. Rather than working on the ground :)

You're doing a bang up job there.

Jaz goes well with the ever growing facial hair! Good solid progress occurring. I thought you were mad with your choice of vessel but I have a growing feeling that you are going to make me eat my words. Go well!
You need to feather the edges of the ply (scarf) then butter all edges with thickened epoxy.. having wetted them first.
Crackin job brother!! 💙
I spent a year rebuilding and modernizing an old sail boat.

Better than breaking your back on someone _else's_ boat for minimum wage though, right?
@@dancarter482
I wish someone paid me minimum wage for it. I put over 4000 hours into it. That's like £48,000!
@@ClanGunnBushcraft If only it worked like that. .. ....
Slow but sure,your winning.don’t forget to have a day off,it focuses your mind.keep it real 😊
Mark , make sure when purchasing fibreglass that it comes on a roll and not folded as folding breaks the glass fibres !
Dude, great choice of background music! 👌
I really like when you show your visitors. The sailing community is so awesome. And that yard seems wonderful.

Always finish a glass job with a layer of peel ply as it helps get a good finish and avoids a lot of sanding between coats.
RV
Nice work, I don’t have a single opinion other than that!

Just keep plugging away, you will get it done. I can't wait to see you get her on the water and in the wind 😊

I find a dremel tool is crucial for opening up cracks in the glass, so you can fill them easily. $100.00. Million uses on a boat...
When applying glass, I find it a lot easier to wet the glass out first then apply it - especially with difficult to access areas. Also same for taping.

Brilliant - keep at it! You’ll be in the South Pacific in no time!!! 🌞 🏝️ ⛵️
I use little 50 mL plastic ramakins to mix small batches of epoxy, less plastic water that way.
looks good! as an old tradesman, wear kmee pads and get some work horses etc to work at waist height as much as posssible.
It's coming along great.....
Cue The camera angle when the dude came for a conversation and spoke to you under the rudder-perfection in non planning 😊
Love the music Mark, nice choices. I know this is a stupid question, but why don't you have a table to work on? You will be an expert fiberglasser by the end of the project. Great progress, fun to watch.
First job on any project should be making a work table and or saw horses.
When digging out the wet be sure to allow a good dry. Filling over wet May be an issue
