How to Choose a Yacht Management Company

Yacht management companies provide vital assistance for the owners of yachts. They offer both owners and captains a full range of services including refits and new build management, operation and crew management, safety management and financial and accounting services.

These companies will also ensure that your yacht, wherever it is in the world, meets local regulations, including flag, classification status, and safety requirements. A company that provides a good service will give you peace of mind as you enjoy yacht ownership as they essentially look after the all daily routine and details, both minor and major.

So how do you choose a yacht management company? You can, of course, be referred to one by a yacht owning colleague or acquaintance, through reading specialist magazines, or by finding one on the internet.

The Internet is an excellent way of finding a suitable manager for your vessel and of course you will be able to make contact with any company anywhere in the world. You will also be able to open an account online. It is always best to check out various companies to find who offers the best deal and the Internet is arguably the best way to do this.

No matter which way you choose to find the company you will work with, you will need to give them all the available information about your yacht. This information may be asked for via a questionnaire and will aid them to select the best contractors or service providers for you. You will also be able to advise them of any schedules for maintenance, system and damage checks, cleaning and servicing, or any one-off system checks or repairs your yacht may require. They will also be able you deal with any unexpected requirements, such as emergency repairs, where they will give you a choice of contractors to do the work for you, or arrange to do the work themselves.

No matter where your yacht management company is based, choose one which will be able to help you wherever you are in the world. They should be able able to provide technical consultation and logistical support for you on international level. They should also be able to render whatever you need for your voyage enabling you to take maximum enjoyment from your craft under the safe knowledge that all the necessary details are being dealt with by experts.

Coup de vieux !

Le paquebot de croisière est entré dans le port. Dans la ville en somme.

Plus de deux cents mètres de long, douze ponts, plus de deux mille voyageurs possiblement embarqués.

Tandis que les immeubles de la petite ville, pour ne pas gâcher le paysage ni offenser la petite église ne dépassent pas quatre ou cinq étages.

Le monstre a déversé ses cohortes de touristes anglophones vêtus de polos bien repassés, de bermudas aux plis impeccables, de chaussures élégantes et légères, parfois de chaussettes blanches sous les sandales (!), ses fauteuils roulants sophistiqués occupés par des vieillards polis.

Les propriétaires et gérants des derniers bars et restaurants ouverts à la fin du premier tiers de l'automne et du glacier qui n'avait pas encore fermé étaient, dans la baie, aux anges.

Certains de ces touristes de la toute fin de saison étaient revenus tôt au bateau, ou n'étaient pas partis et occupaient l'ultime pont-terrasse du navire d'où ils dominaient le port et toisaient le clocher qui gardait sur eux encore un petit avantage d'altitude.

Ah, il y avait aussi des français, des italiens et des allemands ! Je n'y avais pas pris garde immédiatement tant les Britanniques étaient nombreux et parlaient haut. Une sorte de “Britin”.

Note sérieuse :

Ce diable d'engin -le navire- bouleverse-t-il les fonds du golf en s’amarrant là ?

Renseignements pris auprès de marins d'ici : il ne cause aucun dommage.

La profondeur du port et la très grande profondeur du chenal dans la baie protègent les fonds marins des turbulences causées par les hélices et, à la différence d'avec les bateaux de pêche et de plaisance, de la petite vedette au yacht imposant, les grands paquebots ne jettent pas l'ancre à proximité des côtes évitant ainsi d'occasionner les dégâts maintes fois dénoncés. Là, avec un tirant d'eau de 6.5 mètres et une profondeur de mer de 15, le fond du port est sauf, a fortiori les fonds du golf à plusieurs dizaines de mètres de la surface. Propriano n'est pas Venise avec ses fonds très hauts. Bon, je veux bien, et la faune ? Ne serait elle pas perturbée par les masses d'eau remuées par les pales gigantesques du monstre d'acier ?

Une certitude cependant, la pollution est bien réelle. Triste et révoltante. Au moment du départ, le navire crache une épaisse fumée de volcan en colère. Et toute la ville empeste quand les vents se mettent de la partie.

Dans les Ehpad, les pensionnaires, depuis leurs chambres ou l'entrée de leur établissement tourné vers la vie qui grouille, regardent tous la rue et ce qu'il s'y passe de préférence au joli parc, derrière où rien n'arrive. Ici, les voyageurs immobiles en escale ne regardent pas la mer, mais la ville.

[AVANT-PREMIÈRE CINÉ] TENET de Christopher Nolan Maintes fois repoussé en raison de la pandémie, ‘Tenet’ sort enfin en salles dans une chronologie qu’on pourrait presque qualifier de « inversée » (les Etats-Unis le verront vraisemblablement en dernier), à l’instar d’une partie de sa construction scénaristique. C’est ainsi l’inversion du temps qui est le « high concept » du long-métrage, à ne pas confondre avec le retour dans le temps, motif bien plus couramment abordé dans la pop culture. Christopher Nolan prouve une nouvelle fois sa qualité rare de parvenir à façonner un blockbuster exigeant et millimétré, plus proche de son ‘Memento’ à la construction en étau que de ses films à la temporalité plus ou moins distendue (le triptyque ‘Inception’, ‘Interstellar’ et ‘Dunkerque’). Un long-métrage plaisant et original dans son concept, aux scènes d’action étonnantes et servi par un duo de choc (John David Washington et Robert Pattinson), mais qui pâtit d’un ton trop sérieux et monotone, d’une trame parfois confuse, d’un manque de connexion émotionnelle avec les personnages et de certains clichés inévitables. L’excitation est bien là durant toute la projection, mais l’émotion un peu moins. Muni d'un seul mot – Tenet – et décidé à se battre pour sauver le monde, notre protagoniste sillonne l'univers crépusculaire de l'espionnage international. Sa mission le projettera dans une dimension qui dépasse le temps. Pourtant, il ne s'agit pas d'un voyage dans le temps, mais d'un renversement temporel… Une qualité de Christopher Nolan est de veiller à proposer des films à la fois spectaculaires et challengeants pour le spectateur, le poussant à être attentif aux détails, à se remémorer voire à remettre dans l’ordre certains passages et/ou à repenser des éléments sous un autre angle. Le réalisateur va au-delà du simple « effet gadget » ici avec la chronologie inversée et intègre ce concept au cœur de la trame scénaristique du film, se basant sur des fondements à mi-chemin entre la science (le rapport entre l’entropie des éléments et le temps, le Paradoxe du grand-père, plus d’infos par ici) et l’imaginaire collectif (le Carré Sator, plus d’infos par là). Les explications sont certes relativement claires (bien que parfois peu évidentes à appréhender pleinement au premier visionnage), mais néanmoins trop prégnantes et récitées sur un ton monocorde où tout trait d’humour est étrangement absent, hormis la courte scène avec Michael Caine. Aussi certaines séquences ne sont pas forcément très bien amenées et laissent une impression d’utilité purement fonctionnelle (les trames autour du tableau et du plutonium, la séquence finale sur le bateau). Entre explications et scènes d’action, la durée limitée de ce type de long-métrage ne laisse presque plus aucune place au développement des personnages (on ne sait pour ainsi dire quasiment rien du Protagoniste et de Neil, ni du lien qui les unit, sauf de façon relativement évasive et assez pompeuse dans les ultimes secondes du film). La « mécanique » très marquée est un fardeau pour le long-métrage qui s’intéresse trop à nos méninges et à nos yeux, en délaissant l’aspect « organique » pourtant essentiel : nos émotions. On vit le film certes galvanisé par la tension palpable, mais également anesthésié, à l’instar d’ailleurs du jeu pourtant investi des acteurs John David Washington et Robert Pattinson, du fait des enjeux à la fois trop importants (la surenchère permanente de fin du monde) et surtout auxquels on ne porte finalement que peu d’attachement. Le film souffre de certains clichés inévitables faisant parfois penser à un James Bond ancienne génération (l’agent secret 007 droit dans ses bottes qui doit sauver le monde en traversant des environnements luxueux et qui s’éprend au passage pour une vie féminine, le laborantin Q lui expliquant le dernier gadget en vue, le vilain russe milliardaire macho sur son yacht entamé par une maladie incurable), mais le plus dérangeant peut-être est la réutilisation par Christopher Nolan des motifs de sa propre inventivité passée, donnant souvent lieu à une forte impression de déjà-vu (l’action sur fond de musique pétaradante avec des SWAT courant dans tous les sens comme dans la trilogie ‘Batman’, le nihilisme de Sator / du Joker, les séquences visuelles de foule à la ‘Dunkerque’, l’objet « grigri » identificateur tel que dans ‘Inception’). Dans ses ultimes instants, le film opte même étonnamment pour la carte de l’écologie, alors qu’aucun autre aspect du scénario n’appuie une quelconque conscience verte, dans une vision étrangement fataliste : le seul moyen d’endiguer l’impact destructeur de l’homme sur l’environnement serait non pas de retourner à un comportement plus responsable mais carrément… d’inverser le temps ! Les clichés égrenés ternissent malheureusement l’originalité indéniable apportée par le concept temporel fort du film, offrant son intérêt particulièrement dans les scènes d’action renversantes (les séquences à la double temporalité sont redoutables dans leur chorégraphie). Même si là encore ce motif finit par malheureusement ronronner car il est exploité jusqu’à la corde (les personnages non identifiés se révèlent toujours être des personnages connus, que ce soit le Protagoniste, Neil ou Kat). Se pose ainsi la question suivante pour le spectateur au moment du générique : « La boucle est certes bouclée, mais souhaitons-nous réellement toujours être enfermés dans une boucle ? » L’originalité du scénario n’implique ainsi pas forcément un aspect de nouveauté.

‘Tenet’ est un film certes non exempt de défauts, mais quand même très appréciable, retors, de bonne facture et n’ayant certainement pas encore livré tous ses secrets. Christopher Nolan montre à nouveau sa grande qualité de réalisateur, mais il serait peut-être souhaitable qu’il s’intéresse plus à l’organique qu’à la mécanique et qu’il fasse finalement un peu moins de « Nolan » les prochaines fois.

Editor's Notes: Global Game Changers

One of the best things about heading back to the UK post yacht show is reminiscing on the exciting events and delving deeper into the discoveries made over the hectic days past. The all-Italian first edition of the Versilia Yachting Rendez-Vous did not disappoint, and we were lucky enough to share with you our adventures in this weeks news.

If you haven't already got a feel for this new yachting showcase, it's worth checking our our round-up video which really captures the heart of the gathering. The Versilia Yachting Rendez-Vous was without a doubt, a homage to the yachting culture in Viareggio and in the true Italian way, was put together with style and sophistication; despite falling into place in less than a few months.

Perhaps the most exciting event across the few days we spent on the Italian coast, was our exclusive interview with the newly appointed Chairman and CEO of Perini Navi and Picchiotti Yachts, Lamberto Tacoli. Speaking about his new role, it was clear to see the forward thinking mentality of Lamberto and we look forward to seeing how this new-found leadership takes the shipyards into new realms, whilst of course mainting their 100% Italian reputation.

Nevertheless, in no time, we had snapped out of the continental mood and were back in drizzly London, stepping on board the newest Damen support-vessel. Built from the Sea Axe range, 70m Game Changer looked all the more serious and intimidating amidst the moody backdrop of The River Thames.

Whilst we were busy taking in all the action, elsewhere, the 2017 delivery dates kept coming and Feadship anounced yet another launch; this time of their contemporary-cool CID. CRN's Cloud 9 found its way to owners after her January launch, just in time for a summer spent gracing the Med. Meanwhile, Abeking & Rasmussen celebrated the delivery of Aviva, adding yet another superyacht to their ever-growing collection.

Finally, we look to our ever-changing destination focus, where we explore Montenegro's dazzling allure and where Bermuda is not only the next place on avid travellers hit-lists, but where the revvered America's Cup is set to take place in the following weeks. Chatting to the prestigious Royal Bermuda Yacht Club, we bring you the inside scoop, and hope to bring you more as the dramatic event unfolds... In the meantime catch us over on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for daily updates.

10 Tips for Efficiently Cleaning Your Boat

The following tips will help your boat look it’s best and will also protect your valuable asset from the unforgiving marine environment, in the most efficient way possible.

1. Choose the Right Cleaning Equipment – Consider the type of boat you’ll be cleaning and ensure you have the right tools and materials for the job. Choose brushes that are sturdy and will get the job done, yet soft enough not to damage the finish. For most situations, a brush with medium-soft bristles will do just fine. In addition to a good scrub brush, be sure to have other necessities, such as a bucket (large enough for your brush), washing pads, a mop, sponges, chamois cloths and towels handy.

2. Select a Good, Environmentally Friendly Soap – For marine use, you’ll want to select a soap that will be tough on dirt, grime, and salt, yet easy on the environment. Select an effective, biodegradable cleaning agent with a neutral pH factor. Be aware that certain “super concentrated” detergents may not be suitable for your boat, as these cleansers can strip away and damage finishes when left on for extended periods of time.

3. Lather it Up – Before you think about applying any cleaning agents or touching the hull with a scrub brush, make sure you rinse the entire boat off completely. Whatever you do, never scrub a dry boat or you will risk damaging the finish or gel coat. Lather up with a sponge soaked in the soapy solution, scrub, and rinse sections of your boat at a time.

4. Soak Things Up – Use soft drying cloths that are highly absorbent and will soak up water without stripping or scratching. Chamois cloths or drying mops made of chamois material are good choices. To avoid “spotting,” be sure to dry off your boat immediately after washing and rinsing.

5. Glass Cleaning – A simple water and vinegar solution works well as a glass cleanser, and it’s easy on the environment. If glass and Perspex is heavily scratched, not much can be done in the way of repairs. The best course of action is to guard against damage in the first place by applying a clear silicon spray or polish to the windows and cleaning them with a soft, non-abrasive cloth.

6. Shine – There are many quality cleaners and sealants available for keeping the chrome and stainless steel on your boat protected, shiny and bright. After cleaning, you may want to apply a quality wax sealer to create a protective barrier against the harsh elements. If your boat’s metalwork is pitted or oxidized, apply a quality metal wax and leave it on the problem area overnight. In the morning, take a piece of fine bronze wool and gently scrub off the wax applied to the pitted or oxidized area. This process, repeated several times, should make a considerable difference.

7. Teak – If you have teak on your boat, regular care will be required to maintain the original rich color. For various reasons, it’s best to varnish your teak. Instead, wash it off with the mild detergent used for the hull, rinse, dry, and apply teak oil. If the teak is worn and has lost some of its color, rub it gently with sandpaper (a heavier grade at first, followed by a finer grade). Once the sanding is completed, clean it and allow it to dry, then apply teak oil. Performing this kind of maintenance will go a long way in keeping your boat’s teak looking like it should.

8. Vinyl Upholstery – First, clean off your boat’s vinyl upholstery with a damp cloth to remove grime, dirt and salt. You may want to follow this by applying a quality vinyl cleaner and again wiping off the surface. If mildew stains have formed on your vinyl upholstery, use a deck brush with medium-soft bristles and scrub with a water and ammonia mixture (4 parts water to one part ammonia). Follow with a freshwater rinse, dry, and repeat this process if necessary. For tougher cases, several effective commercial stain removers appropriate for use on vinyl upholstery are available.

9. Carpeting Cleaning – If the cabin portion of your boat is carpeted, you should vacuum and spot clean this area periodically. Using the specialized hose attachments will help you remove dust and dirt from hard to reach places. Start from the front of the cabin area and work toward the stern. This way you won’t be stepping on areas you have already cleaned. To avoid dirt or stains on your boat’s carpet, its best to avoid tracking dirt or fish blood from the deck in the first place. If the carpet is already stained or soiled, use a quality stain remover (following the manufacturer’s instructions), followed by a steam-cleaning with a carpet machine, if possible.

10. Cleaning Your Engine – It’s important to make cleaning your boat’s engine part of your annual ritual at the end of the season. A quality engine cleaner, such as WD-40 or Boeshield T-9, used in combination with a cleaning cloth, is usually sufficient for removing accumulated dirt, grime, and grease. These products also protect engine parts by creating a protective shield from moisture. If it’s an older engine with a considerable amount of build-up, you may need to employ a more powerful grease remover, such as “Gunk.” Whatever solutions you use, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully, and protect or seal off electrical engine parts first. If grease is removed from key engine areas that require this lubrication, be sure to re-apply some to these points upon completion of your cleaning.

Tips For Boat Maintenance

Here are some of the tips which can help you keep your boat up and running:- AFTER EVERY TRIP:

o Flush the engine each time it’s used in salt water. Use “earmuffs” over the water intake and a freshwater hose. Tilt engine and rinse underneath to prevent salt buildup.

o Fill gas tank on the way back a full tank resists water build-up from condensation.

o Wash entire boat and trailer using soap and water. Zip Wax (by Turtle Wax) car wash soap contains wax and will not strip the wax from your boat. Do not use bleach or Soft Scrub except in emergencies. Re-wax the affected area after using these harsh products.

o Scrub the deck with a non-skid cleaner

o Dry all the metal, glass and flat surfaces. Standing water will leave mineral deposits and etch surfaces.

o Cover boat to protect it from sun and rain.

o Every 75 hours: replace spark plugs, clean fuel filter, change lower unit oil, grease engine/drive via the zerc fittings and inspect everything.

o Every 150 hours or once a year replace the impeller and fuel-water separator.

Engine/Running Gear maintenance tips include:

o Change oil frequently – following manufacturer’s minimum recommendations or once each season.

o Check and replace any belts or hoses that appear to be deteriorating.

o Check for oil and/or water leaks every time before leaving the dock.

o Flush your engine with fresh water after operating in salt water.

o Check impellers and pumps to anticipate a failure.

o Watch for the beginning of corrosion and take measures to stop it before it becomes a problem.

o Check and service transmissions and lower units according to manufacturer’s recommendations.

o Change fluids on a recommended schedule or at least once each season.

o Keep shafts and props in clean and good working order.

o Check all though-hull fittings. Make sure that their valves are operational and can be opened and closed.

o Check all water strainers to make sure that they are clean and free of debris.

The Dubai Water Canal: yachting in the UAE

The waterway, which opened in November 2016, effectively turns part of Dubai into an island…

With a width ranging from 80m to 120m, the 3.2-km long Dubai Canal is the final segment of the Dubai Creek extension that terminates in the Arabian Gulf and allows yachts of up to 32m in length and 8.5m in height to pass through its waterways at a maximum speed of seven knots.

The AED2.7 billion project provides a gateway to various boating and lifestyle attractions, including the region’s first purpose-built yachting destination, Marasi Business Bay, which will span 12 km of waterfront, and host five marinas with 1,250 berthing spaces.

Emirates-based Gulf Craft has announced that all its flybridge motoryachts manufactured for the UAE market will meet Dubai Water Canal requirements. Specifically, the brand’s fleet of Majesty (48-155 feet) and Nomad (55-95 feet) yachts will be constructed in accordance with the height limits of Dubai Water Canal, as specified by the regulator, the Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA).

According to Gulf Craft CEO Erwin Bamps, the ambitious canal project promises to change how yachting is perceived in the UAE, inspiring more people to explore the possibilities of on-water living and entertainment and allow them to sail through the heart of Dubai within the comfort and safety of the canal.

“The Dubai Canal will enable existing and aspiring yacht owners to experience the yachting lifestyle without having to venture out into the open seas, eliminating the barrier often associated with fear of navigation and seasickness,” says Bamps. “This project is essentially changing the landscape of boating in the UAE, creating a waterway in the centre of new communities, similar to other cruising sanctuaries found in modern cities around the world, such as the beautiful waterways adjoining Sydney Harbour.”

The first modified Majesty and Nomad yachts will be available for review at the Dubai International Boat Show, which will kick off at the end of February 2017

Learn the Basic Steps in Repairing Fiberglass Boat Floors

Among boat owners, seeing a hole at the bottom of a boat is quite a common and somewhat pestering experience. To help them with such kind of problems, various manufacturers release certain products that can help people solve this basic inconvenience. In order to avoid the discomfort and displeasure associated with these problems, they must learn the simple basic steps in repairing fiberglass boat floors.

Before starting with the project, boat owners must gather first all the necessary tools and materials in repairing fiberglass boat floors. In terms of tools, coping saw, scissors, and orbit sander all have specific purposes in the repairing process. Cleaning supplies, tape measure, and scraper complete the list of tools necessary to repair fiberglass boat floors.

In the meantime, certain materials are also necessary to restore the good condition of fiberglass boat floors. To facilitate the project, boat owners must procure sandpaper, a Bondo putty, and a fiberglass mat. Additionally, they need to have other materials like cleaning agents, supports, and fiberglass gel coating.

After completing all the materials and tools, it is now time to move on with the actual repairing process. Follow these simple instructions and see how easy it is to repair fiberglass boat floors.

1. Before repairing the boat floors, remove all the unnecessary objects inside the boat to gain direct access to the holes. After doing so, locate the holes that need repair and prepare for the next step.

2. For better results, cut the damaged portion of the floor, removing the unwanted faulty portions of the boat.

3. Before applying the epoxy, the target site needs to be clean and dry, allowing the adhesive to work properly. At the same time, remove any trace of dirt or dust from the area as well. Avoid using very strong cleaning compounds especially those that may negatively affect the efficiency of adhesives.

4. When the damaged portion of a fiberglass boat floor is curved in nature, supports can be of big help in fixing such problem.

5. Rough up the portion where the adhesive is to be placed, allowing it to cling properly to the fiberglass boat floors. In accomplishing this task, a steel brush can do the job done. Take out the fiberglass mat and cut out a small portion that is enough to cover the hole at the fiberglass boat floors.

6. When fixing curved sections of the boat floors, create a shape that closely resembles the curve and overlay it with Bondo, thus replicating the curve. Use sandpaper to smooth out the edges of the Bondo. Place a sheet of fiberglass over the Bondo and add epoxy until arriving at the desired shape. One again, use a sandpaper to smooth out the shape of the fiberglass.

7. After repairing the underside of the fiberglass boat floors, it is now time to clean the exposed side of the boat. Once again, cut out some fiberglass enough to cover the damage, and then use epoxy to cover it. For a finer and finished look, do not forget to remove wrinkles or bubbles from the area.

8. After all the repairs, it is now time to go on with the sanding of the rough edges of the repaired portions of the fiberglass boat floors. Aside from getting a clean look, doing this can prepare the floor for some really good painting. In the end, paint the repaired fiberglass boat floors for a newer and fresher look.

Yacht Gel Coat Repairs Made Easy

Most vessels and yachts built these days are built of fiberglass. A fiberglass boat is made of resins and synthetic glass plastic matting merged together to strengthen it. The outside boat areas are constructed of layers of colored resins known as gel coat. Gel coat is the material used to give the high-quality texture on the visible surface of the reinforced material beneath.

What’s Gel Coat?

The most common gel coats used with today’s vessels are structured on polyester resin chemistry. Gel coats are resins which are put into casts in the liquid state. The constructed module, when satisfactorily cured and taken from the cast, makes the gel coated surface. Over time, these gel coated surfaces can be damaged and dinged from age. The sunlight can also generate small cracks, but repairs can be made.

Here is how I do this. Topside gel coat cracks can be polished out of a gel coat exterior with automotive polishing compound and good old elbow grease, but deep scrapes must be filled. Excluding shade matching, gel coat repairs are relatively easy and uncomplicated. If cracks are deep, I normally prepare them for repair by grinding the surface with a Dremel tool. This provides suitable bedding for the resin. I prefer to utilize the West System epoxy for making my repairs.

The success of the repairs relies upon not only the ability of the epoxy’s strength, but also on how effectively the epoxy adheres to the facade being put on. Except when you are bonding to partially cured epoxy, the potency of the union depends on the epoxy’s capability to “affix ” to the topsides. The next three steps of surface preparation work are an important part of any epoxy gel coat repair.

For top-quality bonding, all surfaces have to be: 1. Clean – All surfaces to be fixed have got to be free of all contaminants like grease, oil, wax or silicone. Wipe all surfaces with a fresh cloth moistened with lacquer thinner or acetone. Wipe the surface before the solvent dries. Cleanse the entire surfaces before sanding or grinding with a Dremel tool to avoid rubbing the pollutant into the current fiberglass face.

2. Dry – All topsides must be as dry as possible for high quality bonding. If necessary, quicken the drying by heating the topsides with a blow dryer. As always, epoxy is not going to stick to moist surfaces.

3. Sanding – Sand flat all surfaces- carefully rubbing each surface. Get rid of any cracking, chalking, blistering, or previous paint coatings prior to sanding. Remove all airborne debris following sanding with a rag dampened with solvent.

Fairing refers to the filling and shaping of ground out areas so they merge with the adjacent areas and appear “fair” both to the eye and touch. Prime the area like you would for bonding. Sand away all bulges and bumps on the surface and remove all dust from the surface to be faired afterwards. Combine resin/hardener and fairing filler to a putty-like thickness in accordance with the manufacturer’s directions.

Always add fillers in a two-step manner: 1. Blend the preferred quantity of resin and hardener thoroughly before adding fillers. 2. Mix in small amounts of the suitable filling until the desired thickness is reached; be cautious not to put in too much.

Be certain all of the filler is totally mixed before the mixture is applied. Spread the mix into a thin layer in the mixing container to extend its working life; thick blended resin will become hard rapidly. The epoxy blend can now be troweled on with a plastic squeegee, pressing it into all spaces. Flatten the mixture to the desired form, but leaving the epoxy a bit more elevated than the adjacent area. Remove any spare thickened epoxy prior to it beginning to age. In addition, if any holes are more than ½” deep, apply the epoxy mixture in multiple applications. Let the final thickened epoxy treatment age completely. Drying will take anywhere from one hour or more.

Smooth the applied fairing matter to merge with the adjacent contour; larger grit sandpaper will remove more material as you sand. Conclude with smaller grit sandpaper when you are close to the last contour. To complete the task, I prefer to paint the repaired surface.
