Take care to avoid dust inhalation. Old stuff especially, for it commonly has asbestos in it. Any dust is bad for the lungs. Many products' packages boasted of their asbestos content!

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. regards, > jim
