Blister Repair 101 – Is there a cure for Resin Blisters?

2 Comments

It was a ton of work and took months to treat or repair these awful resin blisters. I think we discovered that simply peeling to a particular depth may not be the best way to go as the blisters originate in variable depths throughout the laminate. This is part one of two parts about the blister repair we completed on our 1976 Valiant 40 Brick House this past year. Come learn some tips and tricks to repairing the blisters on an old fiberglass boat and making her look new again!

How to Repair a Bulkhead On a Sailboat to Support Titanium Chainplates

Leave a comment

Patrick rebuilds the starboard bulkhead where the titanium chainplates attach to. He explains a bit about why we upgraded to titanium chainplates when we lost the mast and replaced everything from the chainplates to the mast, and everything that attaches to the mast. He gets to ripping out old tabbing, and doing some fiberglassing, replacing tabbing, and repainting  and installing Formica.

This is part 1 of the process. In a month, he will show you how he finishes the bulkhead and then rebuilds the stereo closet, but he has a more interesting, non “how to“ video coming this week for you, if he can finish it on time..something you don’t hear much about anymore, but is on the increase! Make sure you are subscribed and have the bell on!
