Testing Resin Infusion & Different Mold Release Methods: Building a Doghouse for our Sailboat [2.31]

In order to prepare for upcoming lamination we do some tests, we test different mold release methods and also do a test piece using resin infusion method - meaning you lay up all fibers dry and push epoxy through the laminate using vacuum. One advantage of this method is that you don't have to stress about pot life of the epoxy.

In late August 2020, we set sail from Sweden on our first big adventure - a year-long journey to the Caribbean and back. Fast forward to October 2023, we took the plunge again and bought a Wasa 530, a sailboat that had been sitting idle for over 15 years. She's in need of some serious TLC, and we're on a mission to transform her into the ultimate blue water cruiser! On our channel, you'll follow every step of this exciting journey - from boat renovations to ocean-ready upgrades, and everything in between. We post new videos bi-weekly on Saturdays, so subscribe and join us as we bring this beauty back to life! ??More about our boat, Anne-Mon II: http://sailingannemon.com/about/the-boat-anne-mon-ii/ ?
