How To Sand And Wash The Boat Right: Sailing Reverie Restoration

Our #sailboat #restoration continues on our Pearson 34 Sailboat. In this video, we're going to show you how we sanded and washed. We're using Epoxy Fairing Compound to fix the boat and keep it watertight. We'll also show you what we had to do to repair a hull, repair boat blisters, and more. ...So after several days of #sanding the hull we finally got to a point where we can power wash the bottom of the boat so we can start fairing the hull with Interlux Watertite Epoxy Filler. As you saw on our previous video, we tested 4 scenarios of epoxy filling and ended up selecting preparing the hull by sanding before hand, washing, drying and then applying the #epoxy filler. So after several days of sanding we finally reached our goal and can now power wash. Power washing was good as it removed all loose material, paint and dust and left the surface ready for our first pass with the epoxy filler. It is very apparent that whatever #gelcoat mix they were using back in 1985 was not a good one. If the first owner of the vessel does not catch it, then vessel owner nu, "X" (that would be me) has to end up fixing the mess. As you recall we decided not to peel the hull as this would have been very time consuming and costly, so we went with the poors man's approach. Check out the close up of the hull on the video and you will see what we are talking about. Thank you for watch our videos, please subscribe to our channel and most important we love to get feedback.
