Sail Life - Vacuum and heatš„ to deal with osmosis (DIY version of HotVac) - DIY sailboat refit
In this video, I use a vacuum pump and high heat to attempt to dry out the GRP (fiberglass) hull of my sailboat. This setup is a DIY version of the commercially available system that is known as HotVac. Sadly nobody here in Denmark offers the real HotVac as a service, so my only option is to do it the DIY way.
