Replacing Floor ????

[jfc092]

I've replaced the transom plywood and will be installing the new foor this weekend. It's 5/8 plywood sheeting sealed on both sides with epoxy resin. I'll be covering the floor with 7 ounce cloth and more epoxy resin. <br /><br />I'd like to level and smooth the floor between the plywood and the hull with an inexpensive floor leveling material befor glassing over it.<br /><br />Can anyone suggest a material to use for this purpose ?

Re: Replacing Floor ????

Question for you jfc092. I have a side question to ask, I am getting ready to start replacing my whole floor (19ft runabout). I haven't torn the floor up yet to see all if or how much damage their is, I have some free weekends, and the floor has two soft spots, so I figured why not do it while I have the time. Can you give me any advise, or how long it would take? Also I am decent with tools, but I don't want to get in over my head. Sorry I didn't mean cut in on your question.

<br />Use an Epoxy Paste............

1st guy-Uh whats that?<br />2nd guy- I don't know.<br />lets ask another stupid question before SEARCHING<br /><br />just kidding but I know this is going to be asked. <br />Basically it is a thickened epoxy.<br /><br />1st guy again- Thickened with what?<br />3rd guy- After the epoxy is mixed either epoxy or poyester you add some things such as Cab-o-sil which will thicken and keep the epoxy from running, glass fibers for strength or something in between all these are called fillers. <br /><br />I think I will go meditate with the 4th guy now
