How much strength are you leaving on the table when installing fasteners? 🤔
In our latest long-format video, WEST SYSTEM® Technical Advisor Don load-tests multiple fastener installation methods to show what actually holds and what fails when moisture gets involved.
We compare: 👇
🔹 Dry fasteners
🔹 Fasteners in wet wood
🔹 Epoxy-soaked holes
🔹 Oversized holes filled with thickened epoxy
🔹 Removable fasteners with embedded nuts
🔹 Solid wood vs. composite core panels
Sealants alone don’t last forever. Epoxy-based installation methods dramatically improve holding power and protect against moisture intrusion that leads to rot and delamination.
If you’re installing deck hardware, motor mounts, or winches, this video shows how to do it right the first time.

🔊 Listen closely... your boat can tell you a lot!
👇
You don`t need specialized equipment to spot structural damage... just a washer and a trained ear.
The tap test is one of the fastest ways to assess fiberglass boat stringers. Here`s what to listen for:
🔹 Sharp, clear ring = solid bonding
🔹 Dull thud = rot, moisture intrusion, or delamination
In this case, the test revealed extensive debonding throughout the stringers. The verdict? Full replacement... the only solution that restores structural integrity properly.
Sometimes the simplest diagnostics tell you everything you need to know.
