And we are back!!! In this video I am back at it with Cal 20 restoration. Quite a few things on the go at the same time: hole patching, fiberglassing, painti...

everybody has been asking what are we up

to and how come we're not doing any more

videos of the mochi Maria well we've

been away so this is my first time in

half a year that I'm gonna take a look

at it and see what's inside

I'm guessing due to the wind the cover

have shifted slightly and I'm afraid

there will be wasps like last time

[Music]

you see Miss actually mostly dry

apart from this little sport over here

the rest is as clean as I left it so

perfect this season what we have to do

let's finish the lining on the roof

paint the inside of the boats fit the

hatch in and get the windows in after

all that is done I'll need to fit all

the wooden or all the benches but in

order to get that done I need to make

sure that they will stay dry so first

things first all the windows didn't

notice at first but if you look behind

me a wasp nest I was wondering why there

were so many of them so so far I've been

stung three times this year and I do not

wish to add another one I'll try to

sneak out just like last year I will be

battling wasps first if you saw that

episode I was using wd-40 apparently it

was a great way to get rid of wasps but

this time I actually have a proper raid

[Music]

another thing that I want to do this

season is this scratch right there so my

understanding is when the boat was

trailered before the boat came off the

trailer and it created these scratches

[Music]

right now I'm planning to do a little

bit of fiberglassing when I did it last

time I missed a couple of spots around

the windows and also we have the bow to

complete as last time I'll be using this

fiberglass radio tourism that is marine

grade as well as ending only five drops

of catalyst because it's quite warm

outside but I also will be adding this

air dry wax for a finish that won't be

tacky again when you do this try to use

as little the resin as possible so one

maybe two ounces of the most at a time

[Music]

[Music]

and then on top I think no but the wax

doesn't say how much

so I'm guessing and from what I read is

about the same amount as catalyst and

should be

[Music]

for what they know about fiberglassing

and I'm not professional in any way

shape or form is that you need to start

from inside out so you try to make up

the middle portion first and then both

tiny pieces and then continue out from

inside so yeah that's exactly what I'm

planning to do if anything I know

no bubbles is

[Music]

[Music]

for paint I'll be using polyurethane

paint oh this right here and in fact and

there is a number of reasons why I

picked that so are there many options

out there polyurethane being one of them

also gel coat would be another favorite

one of many people but a polyurethane

paint can be applied over a normal

roller that is the primary reason why I

use that also it doesn't fade in a

number of videos that I saw gel coat a

fades after time and when you repair

certain patch in the boat it really

stands out where polyurethane paint

doesn't fade as much and can be repaired

at the later time and the color will

match the previous color

[Music]

[Music]

I was painting the other day and I was

hoping that I would make it before the

rain and one lesson learned

don't trust the meteorological data

because it screwed me it said that phone

rain for two days and it rained that

night before the Sun goes down I'll try

to finish the main hatch I was reading

up last night what is the best way to

seal the hatches and attach you know

best in cheapest way and so there is a

long discussion of using silicone on the

boat not using silicone on the boat and

what type of silicone is best and it

seems like the ideas are split and what

I'm gonna try is what some people

recommended some professionals to so I

trust them and they recommended using

the silicone from Home Depot or Corona

or Lowe's apparently and it is a mold

free silicone that dries fairly quickly

and it stays fairly flexible so we'll

see how it works don't hate me too much

if though you think it's a horrible

thing I understand that once it touches

a surface you can not apply anything

else until it's completely silicone free

but we'll see if the seal for seven

bucks is worth worth the seven bucks or

is it actually better to spend more

money what's the worst that can happen

right well that was a success took me

only about 17 minutes and everything I

think hopefully seal granted I actually

prepared beforehand so you didn't see

the whole thing but

yeah 17 minutes and hatches and want to

see I think it came out with very fine a

little bit of cleaning on the top before

the hatch itself and a corset
