Re: [VAC] Plywood floor coating



I have used both epoxies with equal results I normaly use the thin laminating 
resin because I generaly have it on hand The penterating epoxy is not sutable 
for laminating fiberglass. I think if I ajob to do where I was going to use 
all of the material I bought on the job I would buy the pinetrating epoxy 
 Have I confused you competly. Be sure to mix it in small batches as in a 
larbe container it will set up very quickly. Laquor thinner will clean up 
brushes.I normaly buy throw away brushes and not worry about them. I would 
coat the underside of the floorand give the edges a couple of coats.than bolt 
the floor to the frameand then give the top avery heavy coat let it run into 
the seam aera so as to be sure that the edges are thourghly saturated. If 
stainless steel bolts are avalable in your aera I would use them to fesen the 
floor to the frame.
If I were going to go as far as you are going I would tate the frame some 
where and have it sandblasted and prime it with a good zinkcromemate primer 
and paint it with a goot 2 part polyutherthane automotive paint.
This trailer should than last a lifetime.
