    For those without syringes for epoxy application, you can use a zip-lock sandwich bag. Make your mix, put it in the bag toward one corner, snip off the corner to make the perfect size hole for your application, squeeze.

      If you are already drilling the hole oversized to get to clean glass you could just center punch the piece that is in the deck and drill it out before you counter sink the holes.

    Another channel that really shows exactly how and which products to use in restoring a fibreglass boat is Sail Life. Mads by now is a pro when it comes to carrying out epoxy repairs, painting a boat, let alone undertaking a full refit. His epic rebuild of his Warrior 38 is a step by step guide on what to do and how.

    Hi Guys. another great episode, but having seen the days when brass ,copper & bronze were the only choices, for fasteners, and modern days with sealants /against the old ways ,glues ,putty canvass over decks , all things are wonderful for our days now to work with ,especially tools, power or battery amazing what us oldy's had to do to work on a boat, Bob Glover

    Since I have OCD this channel makes me so very happy...I have greatly enjoyed the workmanship that you both have put into Merrool. I've always loved the simplicity of the boat an you both. Can't wait for the future. I always learn something the Highway man hitch I learned from my Granpa he was an interesting fella versed in so many things.. so I've used that on the schooner I worked on when loading an unloading stuff...❤💪😊❗

    What has to be remembered here is that when this vessel was built slot head screws were normal. Nothing else was used and it was ALL imperial. In the 70s stainless fastenings were the new miracle metal as bronze and monel were too expensive. Crevice corrosion wasn't a thing, had not yet been invented in the boatyards of the nation.

      @@FreeRangeLiving old boats can reveal some past owners had some funny ideas! At least you can stand a k at the end of the day, scratch your head and say what the hell were they thinking!! I worked with my old man over the last 40 or so years ( he was one of the old Hobart boatbuilders who was well thought of in the industry. He was offered the first teaching job at Franklin wooden boat school but turned it down) some of the things you would come across would curl your hair. Surveyed boats held together with nothing but paint etc. Keep up the good work. Cheers from Glenn Brown

    We are enjoying your refit. How refreshing to see you doing the right thing with your deck fittings. Bathroom silicone should be banned from chandlers!!!! We did an article on stainless which we put on our web site that you may find interesting and/or informative, or your subscribers? It's FREE! When you run out of syringes, get some icing piping bags and nozzles. A cheap alternative. Keep doing what you're doing, a great channel we love to watch! Sail Safe Guys, Ant, Cid & the pooch crew.

    Troy, if that buried screw slowly rusting away in your hull bothers you, you might be able to excavate it with a small hole saw, then patch the hole.
    Wow, it is so much more relaxing to make suggestions for someone else than finish my own projects!

  • @theosphilusthistler712
    @theosphilusthistler712 3 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    One of the things I appreciate about this channel is that you introduce the boat at the start of every video. It annoys the hell out of me when a sailing channel refers just to "our 37 ft sailboat" and gives no indication anywhere that somebody designed it or built it or that there might be others just like it to buy or avoid.
    Also "silicon sticks to nothing". Except my hands.
    And "this job should have taken about an hour" - oh how many times have I heard that from a boss.

    Just incase Pascal's is on her union break, and you need to take a slot head deck fitting off, I've used a few wraps of Teflon plumbers tape around the hex nut below, and then gently tap a box head wrench onto the nut, over the Teflon tape. If it falls off, put one more wrap on. Then some low stretch cord from wrench to anchor point, and then you can go strip out the slot head screw on deck by yourself, instead of needing a helper to strip out the head, hah.

    Worth mentioning to readers, whatever screw head type, one big help is high quality screwdrivers with hard steel tips in all sizes. Crappy tips buggers up screw heads. Screwdriver tip should fill entire screw head deep, wide, fit snug or try another size. Use pin or razor to clear screw head of dirt/crud before trying to turn, razor cut paint away. Everyone benefits by having at least one pretty good #2 phillips.

  • @gking5522
    @gking5522 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yes Troy, one person can remove slotted or phillips head bolts from stanchion bases.
    Use that gaffer's tape to secure the shaft of a long screw driver, in the head of the screw, to the stanchion itself.
    Go below and "Bob's your uncle", you can loosen the nuts.
    The tape may require some adjustments as you turn the nut, but if you're alone, it works.
    Fact is though, many production boat manufacturers did screw boat fittings directly into cored decks.
    I found out how stupid that was several years ago on my "bought new" 1979 Hunter 30.
    But as you demonstrated, it's just another tedious job that one willingly does to rectify the error.
    Love your detailed explanations.

  • @timlemon3624
    @timlemon3624 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    For slotted head screws try an old fashioned brace; just be sure you have the right size bit for the slotted head. Cats meow, makes it possible to understand why they used the damned things. To remove dead screws (whatever a visegrip won't grab) get a roll pin the same OD or ID depending how important it is to not enlarge the hole and file counterclockwise saw teeth with a triangular file. Use in a drill in reverse with lots of pressure and very slow. Or order them premade as "Unscrewums"

    Love the way you both explain things. Obviously someone with an extremely limited budget and knowledge did a lot. I find it fascinating how differently various boat owners and builders view "proper" fasteners. An obvious difference is in bronze vs stainless as slots can be easily recut in bronze. I really like the forestay mount design, much better than the damned near inaccessible bolts through the deck. All in all Mirrol is going to be a fantastic boat when you're done, all your changes have been brilliant!

    I have watched possibly hundreds of boats being hauled and wondered why the slings weren't tied together to stop them slipping.
    The grief that eventuates from slippage is so easily remedied that the mind boggles.
    It's just like slotted screws being replaced by phillips head which are multiple times worse.
    I've long wanted to meet the inventor of phillips head and it's just as well for him that I haven't.

      Likewise.. the very first thing I did on every old motorcycle I've ever owned was replace every Phillips head bolt with Allen headed versions. Now, particularly in woodworking, I've recently become a firm convert to the Robertson head variety of screws. That tapered square socket is sheer genius!

    I do home renovations and yes, there are times you would like to find the guy who did DYI 'work' on the home previously, and give them a knock up side their head and ask them "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING???"... I can just imagine the interesting stuff you find on a second hand Boat...

    Marine grade silicone does have one singular application on a boat, and that is bedding glass/lexan in a fabricated window frame. Butyl has been replacing this application for awhile, but there are still window frames out there that are best suited to a proper marine grade silicone bedding. Otherwise, you're absolutely right. No silicone, ever.

    Troy you have the patience of a saint with all that mess of bolts and fitting, the air would have been blue with bad language if it were me! Great stuff to learn as always.

    Hi Troy. I know by the time you read this you will have finished the deck work. But you can use the plug cutters to get the broken bolt out and just fill a bigger hole!

    The highway man's hitch is used for a quick getaway after you've robbed a bank while on horseback. Most Cowboys in the movies just chuck a rein over the hitching rail and hope their horse will still be there later!?!?!?

    I'm not sure what's crazier the detail Troy goes into or my rapt attention to the explanations.

    I had to do just the same as this when I bought my boat.
    Previous owner had removed all deck hardware and when they put it back used silicone as sealant poorly at that. And the bolts were mounted through the deck with plastic wallboard anchors. Including the winches, and cleats. All my chain plates had no backing plates due to having used pieces of plywood as the backing plates. With the lack of sealing water running down there was rotting them away.
    Every time it rained the boat was filling up with water.

    I did that on my CATALINA 22, when I filled the excess holes that were put in the deck by previous owner
