Re: flooring
knarrmann, It would be best if you replaced the plywood and glassed it over. The paint will not provide the protection of poly resin.<br /><br />The accepted method is to cut out the bad section. I use a skilsaw set to the proper depth. Now you need to screw the new piece to something, so continue to cut out the original floor until you can have the new and old floor join on a stringer. Cut the new floor to shape and seal the bottom and end grain with poly resin. Now sand the old floor down to raw fiberglass, aroung the perimeter of the joint. Use stainless wood screws to screw in the new flooy, and fill any gaps with poly putty. Now paint a layer of poly resin over the new floor and several inches of the old floor and lay (at leaset one piece of)cloth over the wet resin. Continue to saturate the cloth with resin, until completely saturated. Let it harden and add a second coat of resin. If the weave of the cloth shows thru, a third coat is in order. You can paint it when all the poly resin has cured. You can also tint the resin to assist with the coloring of the final floor.
