Always wondered how to make a patch in non skid. This explains it all. Thank you for making this !

These videos are genius! Bought a Beneteau that needs cosmetic work and these videos are exactly what I need.

Woo Hoo Saturday night and a new Boatworks Today video. Seriously, thank you. I learned a lot watching these, what to attempt and not. The history and evaluation. Good stuff.

Awesome!!! I’m feeling a little better already Long story short I just bought a 1975 whaler it’s the 13.7 one. It has like 4 small holes on the deck and two 3” cracks on the floor. I was told to foam fill the holes first then repair it .. I definitely gave this channel a Sub and smashed the like button !!! Thank you for sharing

Love all your vids, always learning something cool and new to do at home as a small diy project. Thanks.

Hi, I am a Norwegian fan who absolutely love your youtube show. You've just saved my day! I have a Marieholm 24. A Swedish, 24 foot cabin cruiser. Which sank last year. Thought the boat was a little too good to be scrapped. But fiberglass / wood work is not my thing. (I a mechanic). So now I take one step at a time to try to learn how to repair it. The hardest thing to fix for me was the nonskid. And you just showed me how. Also struggling a bit with teak doors and hull vinyl upholstery. Just made new pullpit / pushpit for the boat, out of stainless steel. Thanks alot for shearing you`re expertise.

Been waiting for more vids.  Thanks!  I know (now from experience) how much time and effort goes into producing these.  My own channel is a poor example.  Sharing your expertise is heartily appreciated.

Love the videos! Would like to see a fuel tank and complete deck replacement. Some custom fiberglass work would be cool also, such as adding a coffin box or built - in cooler or adding a factory looking livewell to a transom.
Keep up the great work!

vids are just color matching gelcoat tutorial would be awesome as well as one on polyflake a bassboat too!

Great to see you back! My little girl and I are rehabbing an old whaler and these videos really help :)

Working on a 30' Dorado down here in FL and love all the advise and sharing. Starting to paint now with Awlgrip (Which I was scared to death of using until your advise). I am going to use the Softsand on the non-skid. Done some samples and it is great.

Andy, Nice Job! You make repairs look simple!

[uroskumer]

Great video. Can you please help us understand how did you line up the mold so it fits perfectly to the exsiting pattern? Thank you

You’re the best, thank you great videos

Great vid. Love your channel. I have a 1985 Bluewater Coastal Cruiser. Previous owner added a lot., Like 100 snaps for canvas stuff. I would love to see a video on removal of old snaps, filling and gel coat back to a "No holes" condition. It's old white gel coat. Easy to color match? That's the part I get hung up on the most.

Awesome videos! Love watching them and havent even got a yet! ⛴

Hi
Thanks for a great video. Gibco Flexmold has all the repair patterns by the square foot so you don't have to make a mold. I would also recommend you use a piece of formica to remove the excess gelcoat or a sharpened wood stick so you don't scratch the gelcoat.

Another very impressive video! Your awesome! Thanks!!!!

Great video! I'm wondering if the purple p.v.a. used in this video is the same as partall film # 10 (green p.v.a.)
