Re: [VAL] Re: subfloor restore/fix
Beth the west system and Rot Doctor are very good systems but in my open ion
both are way over priced.You pay for a lot of hype There are genera systems
that are just as good and a lot less expencive.But what do I know? I started
using epoxy's in the 1950s and have tried most of them at one time or another.
But more important is I believe is to tilt the trailer from side to side and
end to end and let the epoxy flow into the channel to seal that era where
much rot begins because of un seep leaks which can goes unnoticed until it is
too late pay close attention to the wheel era as the wheels when traveling in
the rain throw water with grate force. I taped around the wheel covers both
inside and out side with fiberglass cloth bedded in epoxy.
Be sure to ware gloves as it will tend to sensitive you and somewhere down
the line will create an unpleasant liger I learned the hard way.
