For me this is THE BEST instructional video ever. So often you get the expert that makes it look easy (or they hide their mistakes on video). I have saved Aladino's original video for ever and still have not tackled my own teak deck because I know it won't be as easy as he made it look, but it is great information. For Maya to have the courage to try this herself, using Aladino's video as reference, brings it home. This would be like me trying (and probably failing) to do this. Maya's additional insight into what she found difficult and having Aladino there to guide, made all the difference for me. I'm sure I will face the same issues, but now I'm encouraged to try. I will probably still make a mess, but I have a better idea of what issues a 'newby' like me will encounter. You have given me the confidence to try. Thanks !!

@SailingMagicCarpet 3 года назад

Thank you SO much!! This is exactly why I made this video - to show how a relative ‘newbie’ would complete the job, rather than just Aladino who has had years of experience working in professional boatyards. If I can do it, anyone can with some patience, and with watching the tutorial Aladino made haha!

@samaipata4756 3 года назад

Congratulations! This is probably THE best educational “how to” video I ever seen! It shows the true reality for the challenge of learning the skills of a true professional! The success Maya ended up having also proofs Aladino’s great tutorial skills! But this video also spikes my admiration for the skills of shipwrights and demonstrates how labour intense this job truly is. After watching this movie, I think none of your subscribers will ever walk on a teak deck without first taking of their shoes! We all will value a teak deck way differently! Again, great video! Love it!🙏👍👍👍👏👏👏💪✌️💞⛵️

Classic boat work requires classic craftsmanship. These skills are fading away in boat making and it's great that Aladino is passing this knowledge on to Maya. Between them, they are a rare commodity in the classic boat refit market. I greatly appreciate their patience and skill, not only in the refit but also with the videos. That being said this is precisely why I will never have a classic boat, the amount of work required is ridiculous compared to current 21st-century boats. I love looking and admiring the classic boats and truly enjoy their nostalgia and connection to the beginning ancestorial roots of boat building and maintenance. FYI: Salt and Tar also have been building a traditional boat with these same classic skills required. I applaud you all for taking on the responsibility of continuing using and passing on these fading skills.

@darrenmanser2847 3 года назад

Maya i LOVE your 'can do' attitude. Aladino I am 'blown away' by your trust and patience. I don't know a tradesman friend that would permit their partner to carry out a job like this that requires such an understated level of skill, concentration and body strength. Particularly when an artisan of your pride and prowess will ONLY SEE the tiniest blemish on that floor forever. I didn't scrape my floor when i did mine BUT the seam has to be laid very precisely so as to spill over minimally to the sides. This will permit rapid removal when sanding without building up heat and melting the Sika. As usual another task that would sorely test most relationships only brings yours closer together. A lesson not stated in the tutorial but perhaps the most important one of all. Love to you both.

@PanzerDave 3 года назад

Your videos are very impressive. Who else could make a 32 minute video about caulking that ends up being informative, interesting, and entertaining. They are also inspirational. One of my sailboat was given to me, and you can probably guess the condition of it when I received it! Watching your videos gives me extra motivation to press on with the restoration, and gives me hope that on the other two the maintenance and upgrades will look half as good as the work you do. Thanks again for your time and efforts in producing such quality videos. Fair winds! Cheers, Dave.

@sailboatshellesseasailing4567 3 года назад

That is high-finese work both applying the sika-flex, than the trimming!! You two have a really beautiful boat because you're working it like skilled craftsmanship. The incredibly hard word to caulk and trim will pay-off in the beauty and durability of your efforts. Kudos to your bride for her getting into the hard effort. Her talents are creatively deep and her partnering to do the mechanical things is commendable.

@vadmal5210 3 года назад

@Valerie_Dawn 3 года назад

It was brave of you to take on this task while the expert is standing right there but it looks like you did a very nice job. Many new tasks require muscles that don't get used regularly. You are both right though about the calking gun. Even the limited times I have used one in home renovations I have learned that a bad caulking gun can cause a lot more work. It's worth the money to get a gun that works well. Sailing vicariously with you from Calgary. Thanks for sharing.

The attention to detail in maintaining your boat is amazing! (Frankly, almost as though you want to make her as perfect as you can before you part ways with her by selling her.) Quite a contrast to the "maintenance" displayed in some other RU-vid sailing channels! You have a great channel!

@brianeggar 3 года назад

Just a small point, rather than using a chisel as a scrapper, have you tried using a proper scrapper? Once you have the correct hook edge it works like a dream and there is absolutely no chance of it digging in. For something so simple, I believe in the old days there was a whole art in using different temper and thickness to get the desired result. Before the advent of power tools, it was an extremely skilled job to lay a perfectly flat parquet floor.

@vigleikjessen2373 2 года назад

I tried to do work on my boats with my fist wife, disaster. My second wife was no better we would fight the whole time, she just did not understand that I am ALWAYS right. Now my third wife, you would expect that by now I would have picked a skilled boatbuilder. No she is now married to an accountant who flies his own plane. I guess that there is no sanding down with aircraft. Now nearly seventy and happy to work alone knowing that I am ALWAYS right. You are lucky to have each other and I look forward to seeing you back on the water with a restored and pristine Magic Carpet.

@bwuepper439 3 года назад

It seems like many owners are ripping out the teak. Yes, there is a lot of work to it, but the results you end up with are beautiful. Thanks for keeping your wooden decks. All of the wood looks so much better then fiberglass covered with some non-skid surface treatment. Great job on your boat.

@kaakeith3772 3 года назад

i recommend a panel or cabinet scraper. better than a chisel, better finish than sanding, also works great for restoring the surface of maple cutting boards

Your tutorals are always so informative. Thanks for another great video. You two are a great team!

@jimc4731 3 года назад

Some tips for the job. Have two chisels, one sharpened just right for pushing and cutting and another for scraping. Scraping with a chisel dulls the cutting edge very quickly. Some people tape along the groove to minimize most of the caulking getting unto the sides next to the groove. You are a quick study, your take on the cheap caulking gun was right on! Did you get a new boat? JIM

@chuckleber3484 3 года назад

I have a question. Can you mask out the wood before caulking the seams, leveling, then peeling the tape while the caulk is still wet to minimize the cutting and scraping?

Interesting idea heating up your calking. I keep all my opened tubes in my refrigerator. They seem to keep indefinitely (years) after opening. I learned this 40 years ago while using DC 5200 on some large projects. It saved my boatbuilder friend a ton of money.

@TasmanianViking 3 года назад

Fantastic! A really great video thank you both so much.

@goeasy1232 3 года назад

To remove the rabate use a old Record #43 grooving plane with the blade ground to the width of the groove and with blunt side edges. It's relatively idiot proof and very fast. Turn the plane's edge guide upside down. The handle rides on the deck and keeps the plane upright.

@davidbamford4721 3 года назад

I have found that pushing the mastic gun instead of drawing it toward you, holding the gun at a steep angle, you will push the mastic down into the groove, avoiding any voids in the mastic. I think that you are doing an excellent job on your yacht.

@richardszwast3454 3 года назад

@Martin_Skywatcher 3 года назад

There is actually something like an electric caulking gun, that squeezes the sikaflex out of the tube for you so you don't get a sore hand and arm. But maybe that was what Alidino was thinking about getting.

@thetessellater9163 3 года назад

There are expensive caulking guns that are sh*te, and cheaper ones that work well. I have used one for years that was inexpensive, but recently broke! I replaced it with a new one that was so hard to use, I decided to mend my old one and I use it again now. You don't always get what you pay for; in many cases the design is crucial.

@sillstars 3 года назад

I had the exact same caulking gun in my last renovation project and realized it's applies just as much force sideways as pushing the silicone out of the tube.... I tossed it in to the thrash and borrowed a professional one from a carpenter and the steadiness improved by 400%, cheap tools are cheap for a reason.

There is a reason these embodied skills are traditionally taught through systems of apprenticeship. However, this video is probably as close as you can get to that online, so well done. Having said that, the biggest lesson I take from this is the same as I take from most of your videos: Don't buy a wooden boat :D

@grahamwheelock7497 3 года назад

Loved the episode nice work with the cleaning of the seams instead of pushing , pulling is way easier make a nice reefing hook out of a rat tail file with the bottom rounded over and the shape of a v like aldino said but also slip this rat tail file into a hardwood handle with finger grips if you spend time like me doing seams the tip is a v , with the razor knife use carbide blades and cut a v first both edges are sharp on the sides allowing you to take more of your previous adhesive off the edges to 1/16" after you have created the v groove for the reason you save yourself from being so precise with a razor knife when you get close enough to wood edges make your self a bendable piece of wood with the correct width of the seams use stick it sandpaper if not available use adhesive to stick sandpaper to seam sanding board makes for more fluidity make sure to sand seam edges to raw wood ,clean seams with denatured alcohol before even thinking about priming and go heavy with tubes of sika its lucky you can sand this stuff 80 grit finish with 120 and bobs my uncle and know he is yours too.... you both are great keep up the awesome work and incredible sailing adventures

@paulkramer4176 3 года назад

Aladino was correct in manipulating the caulking tip, (squeezing it) but might go further. To get the tip to fit the spot better you can also "sand" the longer sides of the tip. And you might well consider buying a battery run caulking gun. (I have a Makita gun). Doesn't solve everything, but you can have a much more controlled pressure on the caulk, so that it makes a much more consistent bead. Also means that the caulk generally STOPS coming out when you don't depress then handle. A bit expensive, but with all the caulking you will be doing, it is probably worth it.

@MountainPirate 3 года назад

Recently I had used an expensive caulk gun (after getting frustrated with a cheap one). When you buy it, have a close look to the push plate. In my case the screw there was poking out quite a bit, and as the sika tubes have a thin metal bottom it pushed through it, which made quite a mess in the gun

@AlienX69 3 года назад

Aladino should be a Master Boatbuilder, ah yes, but sailing around the world seems to be a much better career. I would think that Aladino probably agrees ? One lesson I learned from Aladino is to have a boat with NO exterior wood (but I already knew that before Aladino was born), my boat had it's fair share of teak on deck ie handrails, belaying pin rails, raised toe rails, cockpit sole grate and companionway hatch/doors. ..... 🤣😁😆😃👌👍⛵
