[VAC] Repairing/Replacing Rotted Floor Sections

["Harvey Barlow" <harveybarlow@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Terry,

That is an interesting idea I would not have thought of........to add
sawdust to the epoxy repair.  I'm going to give that idea some thought.

The rotted area I am planning to attack as soon as ambient temperatures
permit has rotted from the bottom..........it looks normal from the top.  It
was only after I removed the black water tank cover and tank and looked up
that I realized I had rot to contend with.  I have cut a sheet of 1/4"
plywood to install under the rear floor in a sandwich arrangement which will
solve the problem but if I could figure a way to work saw dust into the
freshly applied epoxy it would add additional strength.  Lets see, if I
could just turn the trailer upside down and apply the epoxy and sawdust from
the top...............

I took a quick look at the Git Rot website and added it to my favorites list
for future reference.
My approach to floor repair is like yours, I'm willing to settle for less
than perfection because I want to spend my spare time and money towing that
old trailer to WDCU and VAC gatherings, not working on it for the next
several years.

Regards,
Harvey
