True life of a deckhand. The clock goes so slow, you swear its going backwards!😄

Done all that jobs when I was onboard. It all seems hard and tough work but with great planning and team work, this can be done with ease and productive result.

I really liked the video, you explained chipping and painting VERY well.

You guys have it easy, relatively. In shipyards where I work we chip and paint the bilges. Down to clean bare metal, we do a sspc1, sspc2, sspc3, and sspc11. Then a sspc10 on the sspc11 area. Very meticulous, very time consuming. Work in the bilges is extremely cramped, dark and dusty, often you have to squeeze through pipes or pipe hangers to do a job. Working the weather deck is a cake walk in compression.

@peugot905 you have it easy, i have it twice as hard

I honestly didn't realize something as simple as painting could be so extensive and time consuming. You guys have to deconstruct the outer most layer of the ship, then add it all back, which takes time and tons of physical effort. I figured you just painted over it, such as with walls. Thanks for the informative video and changing my views on how some industries have to do normally simple tasks in a much more careful and hands on way. You guys rock!

@JeffHK- chipping and painting was a frequent conversation in my parent's house. Dad was a Bosun in the Merchant Marines. At home, Dad kept me occupied painting and keeping the house "ship shape". Although Bosun drove me to the brink of insanity with his goal to keep things tidy; I went on to study Art History and Studio Art with a focus on sculpture, photography, and (yes) painting. Thank you for this video.

Very good video!thank you

Your video was so cool for real for real, no cizzy cap home slice

For a perfect job, we do a bit differently. First chip, making sure any black rust is gone. Then we brush it with a grinder, then sweep off any remaining dust. If we leave old paint, we make sure to brush its edges smoth. After that, we soak it in rust wash (unitor metal brite), after that has dried we wash the remains off with a rag and paint thinner. Then comes the normal steps of primer (one layer of one color, another with another color) and lastly two layers of paint. That lasts for years.

Thanks for the good video

How often do you "swab the deck"?

Thats why l sold my steel sailboat , to much work But if there is a crew which does the maintaning , boating is nice . I spend 1 year of my live at sea on different sailboats and l loved it .

JeffHK Really? I think its relaxing. Mostlly when you do that you have a lot of time on you so you just calmly get the area to look nicer and nicer. The results is the best part ofcause. And ofcause onboard i never tell anyone that i like to paint and chip, because in that case i would never get to do anything else :p

In order to have positive and lasting results, crewmembers should sweep all the surface in order to remove all solid particles. The area to be painted must be free of old rusty parts to prevent corrosion and as flat and smooth as possible. These surface conditions are obtained by working with some deck pneumatic tools, such as jet chisels, derusting brushes, among others. After making the surface flat and smooth, using the mentioned tools; the area has to be swept again to remove all solid residues and washed thoroughly using suitable detergents in order to remove potential amounts of grease and oil, which affect the effectiveness of paints. Before applying the first coating; the complete area must be well dried and isolated, so that all crewmembers passing by can be alert that fresh paints are nearby. :) Extra info for this amazing video. Greetings

great overview, has anyone used a Pneumatic Triplex Scaler to remove rust? If so ear protection is a must, what db noise level can a person be exposed to?

2:20 whenever possible, don't use a wire wheel. A high speed ejection of a wire to the eye will result in the loss of that eye, every time. Also wire wheel removal of paint will cause toxic fumes that smell bad. This information is from the insurance underwriters of steel fabrication and welding shops in the US (the only people who seem to care). Thanks Jeff, I always like your videos.

Hello i am a deck cadet from venezuela and it's interesting know how the maintenance procedures are onboard , however i have some questions, how often the maintenance is done? do the officers do this type of duties or only the unlicensed crew members? PD: i found it curious that the equipment used is pneumatic instead electrical.

Do you have any idea how long the new coatings last before it needs another chipping, sanding and paint application...? Do the new paint, coatings give the steel a longer life.?

@cracks1291

nzspeedwayfan I'm not sure for a ship but I was in plant maintenance. In a plant it's 1-2 years and as needed for a new coat. The paint acts as a protective barrier to prevent the steel from oxidizing and rusting. Rust causes steel to become brittle and get weaker. So keeping paint allows the steel to stay stronger longer by preventing rust. Hope this is helps.

Hey Jeff, i want to ask, if it is possible, that you make a video about the hole engine room and explain everything.

Hello, great video, actually I had a few doubts related to this topic, first of all, the type of paint, besides the fact that has to be corrosive resistant is it regulated somehow (colour, chemical components)? Is that mentioned in a Convention or Code? I always questioned myself this because I’ve seen ships with pipelines dedicated to an specific system with different colors (i.e. ballast or fuel) depending on the ship, and I wanted to know if it’s standardized somehow, as far as I know at some point cadets also have to do this labour, I can’t wait!

Miguel Rodríguez González I don’t think there’s specific regulation on what color paint has to be, I know certain things have to be a color tho, like lifeboats are orange and fire lines/hydrants are red on American ships

I'm not specific to ships, but, in an industrial setting it's called " color coding". There are standards that say what type of say pipelines will be painted what color for easy I.d., gas lines a certain color, etc, similiar to other areas, hand rails painted yellow, etc..

why dont yo use rust converter before putting primer/ painting?

Why don't you use something like a battery powered angle grinder to remove rust?

Hey bud, I'm just curious, do you know what happens to all the like metal scrapings/rust afterwards? :) Xxx

Sadly have a CB that loves to chip and grind then not cover for the night. Rework is becoming the most painful thing ever.

Is it non stop painting at ship

Do the painters wear a sort of protective face mask to avoid the toxicity of the paint?

The painting is a key element in the maintenance of the ships that will help us to restore them and rehabilitate them. Probably one of the most laborious tasks but cleaning the structure, polishing it and painting it, will undoubtedly favor the performance of the ship. Depending on the need and use of the vessel, you must choose which type of paint will be the most appropriate. The types of paint that are most used are: Synthetic, chlorinated rubber, bituminous, epoxy, polyurethanes and antifouling. Also, in the market there is a wide range of products to meet the needs of each. To choose the appropriate ones we must take into account: What material is the structure or area to be painted made of? Is it a painting for new work, maintenance or repair? If it is maintenance or repair, with which paintings is the boat painted? Do we require a high performance or conventional scheme? With which tools can / should I work? Once you have answered these questions it will be easy to choose the system and the types of products that are most convenient to extend or improve the conditions of the vessel.

Nice video. You forgot to apply metalbrite or similar chemical to bare metal before painting. We usually do that.

so the ship is not 100% filled with cargo all the time?

Hempel paint= the best

Nice and interesting video! But I have a question, what do you have for plan if it starts to rain while you are painting? I mean, rain on fresh paint isn't that funny

Have anyone said I cant take this painting no more and jumped over board

Why don't they use Garnet Blasting to remove the paint and rust??
