well I discovered today that number is a

bit of a crazy person which is just

suits me fine because my advice bit of

crazy blows here we go well done yep I

mm see all like those bubbles sorry

couldn't help myself

we're going to stand down there now

we've seen excellent tend in the past

with the lovely fedra but you gotta

admit it was pretty good sandy to see I

like that sand sorry

[Music]

you

well I love to hang around and what's

the beautiful mermaid - we also have to

get back because the propeller and the

ducky is buggered and I didn't have a

spare oh this is a spline fitting that

went in here and that was surrounded by

rubber and the rubber is what sheared so

I'm going to key this up with a grinder

rough it up and I'll rough up in there

with our drill grinder well when I'm out

and about I've always got my repair kit

which is epoxy two engines gloves but

always have stuff like this like glue

powder which essentially time to love

pieces of cellulose fiber I'd always

take two cells and I'd always have

[Music]

samples of parts different strength and

stuff called peel ply because it just

makes you job so much easier just to

give you a brief rundown what these two

peel ply once you lay on your glass you

lay the peel ply down and you can sort

of touch it with you your gloved hands

and you smooth it out and it reduces

sanding and it makes a nice almost

complete job so if you don't use it

you'll get dagi bits of fibreglass

sticking out which you have to file down

so till five excellent and you just peel

it off after it sets unreal qlr you used

to thicken up the epoxy just to make it

a bit more manageable so depending on

how much you put in you can make it like

the consistency of toothpaste or even

you know even more rigid and then you

can plug up holes and it will sort of

hold itself until it sets and glue power

that's your strengthening your epoxy so

if you were wondering to glue two pieces

of things together or something like

that I'd never ever leave port without

it cuz you know something goes wrong I

could always beat the cat take out one

of the shelves and epoxy it on and

that'll get me buying one of these great

one look pretty bars and get me by

buggy buggy buggy I would have rather

filled the void with some silicon but my

tuba silicon had gone off to old so the

next best thing was a boxing show it's

overkill but we had 10 more days and all

I needed was the prop to work notice how

filled in the top with beeswax no epoxy

would get into the spline I can't stress

how useful is you can use it for

anything sealing this sealing temporary

holes in the deck fixing the seals in

your judge go pump toilets it's just got

a million and one uses if I'm real I

love it I've always got a chunk of

beeswax on board so I'm just cutting up

tiny tiny little pieces of carbon fibre

and try not to bring them in now my

stress I'm just making this up but I

figured become a fiber with these tiny

little pieces will reinforce the resin

in the little keyholes that I've made in

the spline fitting and also on the inner

part of the hub so hopefully we bit

stronger bond and the resin once she so

readily mmm something smells good

I wonder what's cooking yeah propeller

so I'm trying to heat up the epoxy so it

maximizes its strength there you go

buggy buggy buggy it's looking good

he's hoping we'll test it out tomorrow

it's not a permanent job but who knows

you
