How-To Restore Teak - 1976 Chris Craft
Where do you get the EVA sheets from
I did the same on a really hot day, I used a ton of thinner, made it a lot easier.
Will it protect the wood from termites?
good but please no music
Before primer you don’t need to sand it down??
Do you use West System condoms too??
Why did you not comment on the blue one?
I would like to know how it held up also. If you could give us an update that would be great. Thanks.
Hello! It’s holding up well. We’ve had a few scratches on the white where we’ve done touch up’s. We’ve waxed the boat each year which brings back a nice shine. Overall very happy with it’s progress.
That's great to hear! Thanks 👍
Hi Dan, Can the West System epoxy be pressure infused into wood strips so it gets deep into the wood fibers for the ultimate waterproof and permanent protection against rot. I would be doing top coats of UV stabilized varnish or poly as this wood will be submerged in water for days to weeks at a time.
Hello! Thanks for your question. The way I would approach this is to heat up your wood prior to applying the epoxy so it’s absorbed deeper into the wood. That with multiple coats will give you a strong water resistant barrier. I think they will be fine to be submerged for extended periods as long as they are completely wrapped in epoxy. One of our other videos where we build an end table uses the heated wood method.
@@chriscourey2286 Thank you for the suggestion
That looks horrible. Why wouldn't you get a $45 hvlp from Harbor Freight? Less work ( no sanding between coats) and would look pro.
Let's see your paint job
Could the hull stay unpainted from then on? My boat has bottom paint but it’s very old. I trailer my boat and I don’t leave it in a marina, only when I fish.
You could but this method might be aggressive for what you want to do as it leaves the gelcoat pitted afterwards and it would be susceptible to absorbing water or having algae stick to it. If your objective is to remove the old paint and the trailer the boat I would recommend sanding it off starting with a low grit paper and working your way up to something higher once the paint is gone and you start to see the gelcoat. I would start with 40 or 60 grit and end with 180 or 200 once you reach the gel coat. As the paint is removed start to increase the grit so you don't dig into the gelcoat too much. If you're so inclined, you could wet sand and polish the bottom afterwards to bring some of the original shine back.
Would this stuff work to fill in like huge chunks taking out of a pine door? My dog crewed huge chucks out of corners of my pine doors and want to use something to reform corners and blend it back in with pine so it doesnt stand out.
I think it would be difficult to build it back up without it being noticeable. In theory it could work with enough layers and sanding to form it but you could notice the difference depending on the finish for the rest of the door as well as the depth of the chew marks.
2 years too late to the party but is the paint holding up? Just finished a couple coats of seafoam green a few days ago on my stumpknocker and she's curing up now.
I would not be happy if i was the boat next to this guy..
Maybe a very popular method, however I spray and seems way less work
I wish your camera was over the wood so we can see properly
You needed to show the application process up close.
Would you use this to maintain the teak on a new Chris Craft?
How to kill the grass.... lol.
Bottom line, a $0.50 foam brush works better than a $10 lint free roller. Thanks!
Yeah, could have used $1 foam brush instead.
Nice job. First time is never perfect. I’m looking to paint my entire boat in the near future.
We cant see the project. Wtf?
actually, I can't SEE anything. SHOW THE DAMN BOARD!!!!!
Best straight forward lesson thank you
Thank you very much , Parce !
I have some trim work on my companionway entrance that people have leaned against and it's cracked or broken. I wanted to glue it and then was thinking of using epoxy to make the repair stronger. Is this the method you would recommend for that type of application? I would then paint it with the same marine varnish I use on the rest of the teak. Thanks!
Yes that would work well. The epoxy doesn't like to be in the sun on its own so your varnish will provide a UV filter. We recommend the Epifanes 2-Part Clear Gloss but if you can't find that a comparable marine varnish should work well.
So, Sikkens states on their website not to sand in-between coats. They don't want you to remove the UV protection which requires thicker coats.
I work in boat building and when we learnt about this stuff they taught us that you should wear a mask because the fumes have the effect of causing a guy to not be able to get an erection....so just wondering why no mask?
Maybe he already has ED?
@@technotic_us lmao this comment and the reply 😂
what is the purpose of adding epoxy?
It wil add strength to the wood, seal in the surface against water and stains, and in this case add a glossy finish.
@@chriscourey2286 do you think it would be appropriate to add epoxy to an intricate tool handle?
You said this is not UV stabilized and should use a marine varnish. Is this system paintable? Will an exterior grade paint bond?
It should bond without issue to the epoxy once it's fully cured and has been sanded and primed with the manufacturers suggested primer.
@@chriscourey2286 Awesome, TNX!
What psi do you run
is the Tim Horton's coffee necessary ? 🤣🤣🤣
100% required for a precise finish! :)
【promosm】
Dan, you have a beautiful Chris Sea Skiff!! I have seen your pictures of her in the water, a real Classic Chris Craft Beauty, Caps are Intentional.
Looks like you were mixing the 105 to 207 at a 1:1 ratio. But the can specifies 3:1 . Why the difference? Also, you were stirring the mixture vigorously, how do you prevent bubbles in the allied resin?
Hi Rick - the pumps we’re using are made by West System and they measure the ratio for us. So it’s 1 pump to 1 pump to get the proper mix ratio. I can’t measure for the life of me so I always use the pumps! I have a habit of mixing vigorously to make sure it’s mixed properly and I probably create extra bubbles. For the application I try to put it on as thin as possible and tip the bubbles out after with a brush.
Kinda important to have that Tim Hortons!
what was that scraper thing you used as a spreader? I thought epoxy was superior in strength to any other application. But you said if outside varnish it??
Hi Barbara - we recommend using a marine grade varnish if your epoxied surface will be outside as the epoxy on its own is strong but doesn’t have a UV filter, essentially a sunscreen. Without it, the sun will eventually discolour the epoxy and break it down. The varnish also has the added benefit of adding a smooth gloss or semi gloss finish to your project.
@@DansNauticalShop great info, thanx so much. Do you have any product recs this will cover a tub 29" x 60" on both sides of the plywood, and some side skirting 15x29:. I am hoping a quart of each will suffice?
@@ooohlaa13 yup I’m sure we can come up with something. Can you call us at 519-735-2628 or email hello@dansnauticalshop.com and we can go through your project in detail to see what would be best?
Nice Job Chris
Thank man!
Wow!!! Somebody from Tecumseh! Nice to see you here
Is this your demo for like brightwork on a boat??? Not really sure where you were going with this.
Hi Don - it’s just a video of us showing how we apply epoxy. No intended purpose other than having fun.
@@chriscourey2286 ok cause I wanted to know about doing my wood work on my boat.
Wow! I actually caught someone using a tack cloth for a change. Fantastic.
Hahahah They're the unsung heroes. Thanks Mark.
Which brand and type of varnish did you use on that, Dan? :)
Hey Shane it was the Epifanes two part satin varnish. Worked really well, very easy to use!
Awesome video... Informative, no filler, and very high production quality. Well done!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks Brian!!
Looking forward to following your restoration Chris! Give me a shout if you need a hand with anything.
I definitely will! Thanks!
