That looks like a bad repair... (Patreon)

Hi guys,

My plan for this week was so simple. Grind away any UV-damaged laminate in the big repair on the starboard hull and lay up new glass. Then get that faired and painted. Everything was on track until Mr. Angle Grinder touched the repair. Voids, lots and lots of voids. I think the previous owner (Bryan) might have been struggling against the heat in Florida while trying to do that repair. Long story short: I now believe I need to redo the outside part of that repair. The inside skin (and core) is visible and looks good. The outside skin is, as of right now, an unknown. It's not the end of the world (at all!), but it's something it might be smarter to do once the boat is relocated to where we want to do the rest of the refit.

Setbacks like this are not a big deal at all. I'm perfectly okay with having to redo some of Bryan's work. To maximize my chances of getting a perfect repair, I'm tempted to leave the repair as is until we can put a tent over the boat once we're relocated. There are many good things about the yard we're in now, but there are several good reasons to move the boat (as discussed in last week's video)

There is a segment about 3D printing in this week's YouTube version of the video that some of you might enjoy, but technically, it is an ad. Here is a link to both versions of this video - with YouTube ads disabled on both of them :)
