Re: [SilverStreak] Rear floor replacement

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!

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.  regards,
