mmm

Oh

Oh

this is mentioned in survival let's continue on with our can you repair project stay tuned alright so hole repair is the name of the game this time here's a spot that I need to take care of there's a few more spots right here is that the opposite end need to work on that one as well all right the first thing is I'm going to just clean the area alright so I just picked up a fiberglass repair kit okay so I'm gonna want it about an inch past the damage so it's going to look something like that all right so just cut a second layer all right so now I'm gonna just mix the resin hardener and resin and you know just want it down on dirty fix not really worried about it you know stuff is crazy poisonous so that's why I'm using gloves no probably do it I'm not gonna use my knife because I don't want anywhere near this stuff okay

that's the next step is just to saturate the stuff completely in the so see they all fold it now we want to fold it but you get to do it again do it all right

definitely saturated so let's throw it on the boat all right we go all right so here's the first piece stuff smells absolutely hateful this first piece second piece is folded I'm just unfolding it right here here's a second piece pulling off some of the extra fiberglass strands

all right

make a nice insight all right so I'm going to stick some sex your epoxy and fill in these holes so the squats that I mentioned earlier all right so it's the fiberglass patch starting to dry it's still really wet it's put on a couple minutes ago I also want around and patch up a bunch of little spots on the boat as you can see right here this little breaches in the hole that they weren't they weren't holes but the outside is broken off exposing the fiberglass so I just went around the boat patched up little areas like that this one right there one right there and I also did the other side of the boat so same thing as before exact same fiberglass double fiberglass patch and also a pox seed the front right there

all right so stuff takes like a half two hours to dry I'm going to let it set up overnight no big deal to mention any survival crochet views your comments in support thanks for joining me today for another quick segment of the canoe repair project take care have a great day you
