- Okay, just so you guys can get an idea,
the thickness difference between 866,
which is this one here, as opposed to 828.
It's a big difference, as far as thickness,
from military grade to regular standard hypalon.
Here's the seam that connects the rear cone.
And that should basically...
We don't need the other side.
What we're gonna do is, we have one side,
and we just duplicate one side the opposite way,
and it's the same.
And that's your cone.
And there's your cone.
That's one cone.
(machine whirring)
Okay, so now what we did, we have all the templates open,
and we're beginning the cut-outs,
so that we can cut 'em out exactly the same cut-out
as the tube that the customer sent.
So essentially, if you have a tube, any tube,
whatever tube or boat you have,
we can duplicate it,
as long as we have the actual original tube.
Sometimes we already have the templates.
If you look back here,
we already have templates of boats,
so you won't have to do this a lot of the time.
But when we don't, we ask you to bring us the old tubes.
All these lines here, those are...
Here's one side of the tube that comes all the way.
And then starting from this line here,
that on the other side of that way is the other side.
So this one piece will give us both sides.
Now one side is already cut.
We duplicate the other side. We got both sides.
We glue them together, and then we get that process going.
We'll start laying out the end cones and the front,
and before you know it, we have a tube.
(machine whirring)
So right now what we're doing is,
this is the rope, that remember we pulled off,
'cause this is what slides in on that particular Rendova.
So we're cutting off the piece of hypalon
so it wraps around it,
and it can be installed right back to it.
Here's the tube.
We've already started taping it all up together.
We're starting to put the cones.
We've got the templates.
We've started putting them all together.
We're putting the tubes on the cones.
One of the seams that we put inside the tube.
This is some of the stuff that you don't see, okay.
We're putting the glue on it now, as you can see.
Here's the glue, and we're prepping it up here.
Okay it's already overlapped,
and now what we're gonna do is,
we're gonna put that over the seam
so it gives it extra hold.
It gives it more protection so your seams don't open up.
Now what happens is,
inferior companies don't want to do these details
because it's obviously more labor,
will disregard this, and then all of a sudden,
you're in the middle of the ocean,
and you're tube opens up, and you're like wondering why
the back of the cone or what not opens up,
and that's when you have problems.
(rubber squeaking)
(tool rubbing)
Okay, obviously you see how easy it is
to go ahead and get the valve down.
So think about doing this,
replacing this valve with the tube closed.
This is why I have the other video.
You put pressure on it.
Keep tightening it and tightening it.
And then that's nice and sealed.
And then here you can use a tool to tighten even harder.
Alright, so here's the air separator
where it separates one chamber to the next.
Remember that piece of paper that was dividing it?
Now its a nice, thick piece of hypalon.
Alright, we're closing it up.
We're starting to close it up now.
(machines whirring)
And the tube is essentially closed.
It has its valves.
Now we'll start working it in,
making sure there's no air pockets.
Then we put the strips over that.
And then we start putting all the details
and the rub-rail, and all that good stuff.
We're about to install the rub-rail.
All that we did from right before is put air in this.
We wait a little bit so it all dries up,
and it's ready to go.
Alright so that's it. The moment of truth.
The rub-rail is about to go on.
We're putting the glue on it.
So here goes the rub-rail.
Now the final process.
We got a boat. We got the Rendova tubes.
Now we clean 'em up. She's done, ladies and gentleman.
You got all your inserts, so slide 'em back on.
Now it's basically the cleaning process.
Guys, thank you for watching these videos.
I'm gonna post the final product now.
