Re: [VAC] Unfilled capillaries, Terry
Annie, by way of reply, here is a posting I sent to someone else. Maybe it
will help. Be forwarned, the stuff is not cheap, but it works like a charm.
Good luck,
Terry

Hi Deb,
Why don't you go to
http://www.boatlife.com/
Find the search page and write in GIT ROT
Click on one of the Git Rot items in red
Click on "How to use Git Rot"
Print out the directions.
Read the directions every night before you turn out the light in your
bedroom. Search local marinas for which one has the product in stock AND
which one has an employee who actually has used GIT ROT and will talk to
you about it. Pick his brain for subtleties of technique (even though you
have read and memorized the directions).
Search the yellow pages for a millwork shop, go in with an ordinary paper
grocery bag and ask for "clean sawdust from real wood," not particle board
and the like. A half full grocery bag will likely be more than sufficient.
When all is said and done, lay everything out, re-read the directions,
watch the weather channel and when your day comes, be ready for an
uninterrupted afternoon when you'll do the deed.
I have used Git Rot, it does exactly as stated, it can be sanded smooth,
the rotted area will become the strongest part of the floor in the entire
trailer and BEST OF ALL - it's simple to use and doesn't require any more
labor or skills than the average person had when they were 10 years old.
Cha Cha Cha!!!
Terry
PS - There are other products of a similar nature being sold in Auto Parts Stores or Department Stores. Someone else on the list will chime in and
discuss them with you. Bottom line, your call.
Take your pick.
