Re: [SilverStreak] Rear floor replacement

I certainly agree with this added caution.  My band sander has a  vacuum on 
it, i wore a very good filtered mask, and then used an industrial  vacuum 
several times to get the dust under control before thinking about  reflooring.  
best of luck, jim

Thanks Jim for the tip, I'll definitely have both (wood chips  and seams) so 
am pleased to have a tried and true product to use on the  floor.

> An added comment:  i had fairly good floors  in my 1958 Clipper but did 
have to band-sand the whole floor to get rid of  most of the uneven areas. In the 
areas where i had wood loss or seams, i used  DURABOND WEBCRETE 95.   This 
was recommended to me buy every  old-time trailer person as it is self leveling 
and will not flake or chip out  do to the movement of the trailer.   Thin 
coats were used to build  up several areas and then the whole thing was 
band-sanded again. Used my six  foot level to check overall level and was very pleased 
with the floor  core.  Using 'sticky cloth' for the final dust removal step, i 
then put  tile down to closely match what was originally in  place.  This has  
now been down two years without failure so at least it  worked  once.
