PEELING Off (more) Gelcoat - Osmosis Series #2 (S2 E48 Barefoot Sail and Dive)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 янв 2025
- In this episode of Barefoot Sail and Dive we set to work peeling off more gelcoat. It is a slower process than we originally expected partially due to the rain we've been getting but the tool is incredibly heavy so Davy has been working in short shifts with it. This is the second video in the osmosis series.
We have also tackled a couple smaller jobs this week like taking the propellers off ... finally. We have been trying for weeks to get them to come off to no avail but finally with enough pb plaster they came off!
Foxy would like to say hi to everyone. She hasn't had enough camera time lately so she says a massive HELLO!
Hope you enjoy the thumbnail of this episode. I decided I wanted to see how heavy the tool really was and let's be honest I'm a bit cuter than Davy! If you do in fact read the description of the video leave us a comment below!

Professor Davy is back in class 😉 Great video again, as always. Thank you!
Thank you! Cheers!
I like what I'm learning about fiberglass and osmosis. Thanks 😊
Cheers!!
As always you are doing a great job!!
Thank you!
Osmosis, what a pain in the butt. You're going to have solid shoulders and arms once you are finished with that peeler. :-) Thanks again.
Yes it is a lot of work!! I’m already feeling stronger 💪
Looking good guys! Thanks for the update!
Cheers Marty!
Great progress guys. I just saw something I never expected to see. Davy sitting down. What a machine. 👍👍
Hahaha he tales breaks sometimes 😂
Looks like you have a good system going. Really enjoying your videos.
Cheers!
That machine has taken you into the 21 Century. What a work rate you'll have all the gelcoat in Luperon on the floor. Great work and best wishes for 2021.
Haha thank you so much mate! Cheers!
Your wax paper looks like a bunch of Korean flags. LOL. Your work looks great. Love you videos!
😂 never would have noticed that 😆😆
Great episode guys.. loved Foxy's barking and Davy's sitting down not doing anything... Dominican Style.... hahaha... Apollo says hi to Foxy...
Siesta time! 😆 thanks Ron!
Bro you're getting surgical with that peeler
Haha cheers mate!
I hope you get some tarps or something to put up when you start working on the sunny side of those boats.
It’s so hot when the sun is fully out. I have to wait until the sun moves and there is shade to work on the port side! But just finished that side today!! 💪
Now to let it dry out!
Cheers!
keep up good work loving your channel
Thank you for watching!
Love your work Davey
Thanks for watching!!
It’s looking better all the time ,😎🇬🇧👍,looks nice and sunny,we’ve had snow ❄️ and frost ,👍🥶👍
Thank you!
We definitely do not miss snow and frost! 😆
another great episode :) cheers 👍
Thanks for watching!
Hello to both of you
Sorry for my English I use google translate and sometimes I don't understand what it translates. Thanks for the techniques of discovering and eliminating osmosis on the surfaces of fiberglass boats. I have no experience in this area if I understand correctly we find osmosis under the waterline of the fiberglass batteaux. Is that on boats with steel hulls or allumigum can we find problems of the same kind such as rust or other.
Thank you and I wish you a happy new year 2021
Hi thanks for reaching out .... osmosis is only on fibre glass boats its a chemical reaction when water gets through to the glass ... regards davy
Yeah .. New episode ..💥💥💥🎯😊❤️.. thanks for answering my tool question .. Cheers 👊🏼👍🏻
Thanks for watching!
Good morning. Love to see the latest video. Thank you. I admire FP boats but my eyes have been opened as to what might be hiding beneath the gel coat on very new hulls. Have FP given any feedback on the number of what appear to be factory imperfections? Have seen what look like factory imperfections on other FP boats on another youtube video channel. FP should be watching, supporting your work and engineering ways to fix their factory issues. Just my little country opinion from the cheap seats. Looking forward to the next video.
Different topic but ... for what it might be worth ... my ignorant little arm chair brain hates throughhulls / sea cocks. Have you considerd whether you might seal these up and try to simplify onboard systems to avoid through hulls (specially below the water line) completely ? 🙄
Peace
We only have 2 throughulls below the water line on our boat. The rest are on the waterline or above so we feel pretty confident with them.
Thank you so much for watching and for your comments. We love the feedback!
Those props look great. The second catamaran peeling is also coming along well. You guys are hard workers. Don't forget the icecream
Haha never forget the ice cream! Cheers!!
On Little Sister, was this all due to just not having a barrier coat of epoxy not high enough up on the hull?
They haven’t been hauled out for 7 years. So lack of bottom paint in some areas. And yes n out having a barrier coat high enough.
There is evidence that osmosis has been a problem that was tried to be fixed before. You’ll see Wednesday but we don’t think it was fixed properly.
We are planning on using lots of epoxy barrier coat before final bottom paint to fix the problem once and for all.
Happy New year and aloha from the Big Island.
But less talk and more doing. Want to see more doing and fixing.
BIG Island Hawaii!!!!
Happy new year
A good way to help the drying process after peeling is to wash the bare fiberglass with ammonia bleach and fresh water to remove the polyester breakdown products.
Yes that will be one of the next steps!
Accent question: are you saying Adhesive Filler (maybe a filler that's sticky) or D-Sieve (maybe a mesh size "D" for the added particles)?
Adhesive filler!
Keep chipping away :-)
Thank you!!
We will!
Hey I saw where you said your back was hurting get a pair of light weight boots it will help or at least it does me but that's just my opinion and we all know how that goes everyone got one 😆🤘
Thanks!
Nice videos!
Not sure why you are spending so many hours helping your neighbor when you have so much to do. Should have offered to buy the tool together and sell it when both done. Seems much much cheaper than your labor rate!
Good luck!
We are in the middle of a world pandemic. Not a whole lot else to do plus it feels good to help people who are so kind.
With so many countries locked down even if we finished our boat there is no where really to go
Thank you!
Fox :-)

Would Davy mind explaining in a future video a little more in-depth about what osmosis is for is non salty people? I tried to Google it and it’s still a little confusing.
Will do!!
What is "osmosis" exactly?
I like Davey's longer hair. He should grow it out a bit more and no more cue-ball cuts.
I don’t like it long. Plus it gets way too hot while trying to work
You taking a note out of parleys book iOS... Snore... I want to see your boat fixed, not the entirety of the boat yard lol. Cant wait when all that work gets fucked off again when yah launch..... :/
Thanks for the vid...busy, busy, busy with a little dizzy at the end when Dave could get the camera to cooperate. Enjoy and be safe!
😆 just a little dizzy 😵 thanks for watching!
First again South Australia
Cheers!
Someones getting shorter with the extra work load..... Poor man; Someone send some $$$ their way so the entirety of the yard doesn't have to be remodeled.
We enjoy your videos guys but there is too much repetition especially with regards to the osmosis etc. Say it a couple of times at most, I realise it is difficult to make enough content when you're doing the same thing but it would have been more interesting if you had of taken vid of your trips to see the other boats for your mates and the walk through of them. That would have been interesting because we're also looking for a boat. All the best.
There is a lot of boats for sale here in Luperon.
@@BarefootTravels Awesome... do a few reviews on them. looking for a 40 - 50' mono in reasonably good shape as don't want to spend my last years working on the damn thing... need to be out there sailing and seeing haha! Cheers.
There is a beneteau 46 ... I think called Martini in fantastic shape.
We are super busy with our boat refit so don’t really have time for boat review videos right now but maybe when we are back in the water floating.
Sir please go to Rumble add your videos that so I can watch there. Bye Help our Freedom
He is to repetitive. Says the same thing over and over again.
Life does that. Beats the info into my shrivelled brain. I am grateful for the teaching.
