Redoing wood floor the proper way round two


First time around I trusted rustolium they told me marine topsider paint sealed wood they lied.

Wood I used

https://www.lowes.com/pd/Top-Choice-Blondewood-1-2-in-Birch-Plywood-Application-as-4-x-8/50121137


thinking round two will this use this to seal PW

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HR8517A?th=1&psc=1

?1.will a quart be enough to cover a full sheet of PW?



Plan to use same plywood.


I need to redo two pieces aft. (will start w/ the middle piece) Most then middle (1/2 of middle piece is inside ? outside)


Vessel has two longitude stringers w/ a 27? gap in the middle initially the ?? PW had no flex.

?2. is it recommended to add latitudalle supports in-between stringers? I?m concidering adding a stringer?


The original floor seams where joined w/ a 2? aluminum stripe I believe was designed to keep seams tight, not so much for support. Edit vessel was originally built w/ 5/8?PW


?3.is ?? PW thick enough?


First round for middle piece I messed up and covered it w/ spar urethane it didn?t take a couple months and it was rotten (vessel was exposed to rain, now I have a storage rain blocker cover).


?4.can I smear a couple coats of this sealer and call it a day? then expect it to last a few years?
or must I add fiberglass matting to the sealer?


I will definitely use PW for the middle piece will problley use a big piece of aluminum for aft flooring (which is actualley laying on top of rotten aft PW) then cover the outside piece w/ this

there?s usalley a good amount of slippery blood and fish slim on aft deck.

?5.will the rubber flooring be difficult to clean?


Plan to secure PW to stringers w/ aluminum revitos.

Thanks

Several things need to be changed about your plan, but first, what boat do you have?

Don't use that ply wood, it's not going to hold up outside, use exterior grade product or better.

​If the boat originally had 5/8" ply, you should use it again, The manufacturer isn't going to use a thicker and more expensive ply than needed.

​Any epoxy will work, and coverage can vary a great deal, it all depends on how much is absorbed by the plywood, and it normally takes 3 or more coats to seal out water.

​You don't need to use glass with the epoxy, but it will make it more durable.

You will need to post 3 times before you can post pics.


​Next, you should start reading many of the threads here on the same subject, it will help guide you through the job.

is the PW I used inside not external? didn't think it mattered when sealed properly?

24' aluminim crusier/converted pilot house

 

[ondarvr]

Yes, it makes a huge difference. That stuff is interior grade cabinet plywood, it's designed to never get wet.

​What brand?

 

[Alloy Cruiser]

I made a box seat/coolercover/and entrance step w/ same PW it is actualley holding up to rot w/ just the rustoilum marine TS very thick paint.

brand is generic.

 

[ondarvr]

I should have been clearer, what brand of boat?

hello I've been looking for you'r receipt Boiled linseed oil/terpintime and melted bees wax cant find it.
thanks

 

[Watermann]

Turpentine and melted bee's wax?

There's lots of deck replacements and restorations going on in the Starcraft section of the forum. Not sure where your source of info came from in the past but you were lead down the wrong patch to replace decking. What did you use for flotation foam under the deck?

I posted the pic for you.

The old timers sealing recipe is 1part boiled linseed oil, 2parts Mineral Spirits, and 1 part marine varnish or exterior polyurethane

looks like I can purchase the ingredients at local stores except for varnish

I plan to seal a piece of ply about 4'x 67" approximately how how much in oz.s to mix for initial coat?

thanks

Yes,... if you have to replace a deck for the second time there was a serious issue with the first go around ( and it wasn't the paint or resin).

 

[Woodonglass]

For that area you'll use about 1/2 gallon. Saturate the flat surfaces and the edges until they stop absorbing. Let dry for 48-72 hrs then apply 2-3 coats of full strength varnish

actualley I messed up purchased interior birch plywood the vessels floor was exposed to a couple weeks of constant raining now I have made a storage cover.

round 2 I have $120 piece of marine PW

will this solution have a hard (slippery) finish?

was planning on using this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

on the wood sticking outside of cabin then you'r solution on inside cabins wood.

I have small bag of pureified sand anti slip paint additive,http://www.homedepot.com/p/BEHR-Prem...7024/202301601 can I sprinkle it in on last coat?

edit what is the pot life of your solution? the humidity here has been 90% few last few weeks and will continue is it humid to seal wood?

Yep,..... That will do it. Sorry you had to learn the hard way not to use interior plywood in an exterior application. It doesn't matter how well you "seal" it, it's still not a good idea.

 

[Alloy Cruiser]

For that area you'll use about 1/2 gallon. Saturate the flat surfaces and the edges until they stop absorbing. Let dry for 48-72 hrs then apply 2-3 coats of full strength varnish

so I only use one coat of solution then 2-3 coats of full strength varnish on it's own?

edit what is the pot life of your solution? the humidity here has been 90% few last few weeks and will continue is it to humid to seal wood
thanks

 

[jbcurt00]

so I only use one coat of solution...

Not 1 coat, repeatedly applied until it starts to puddle because the plywood has absorbed all its going to

Cant answer @ humidity Q

 

[Woodonglass]

It has a very long shelf life humidity should not be a factor except it will take longer to dry. multiple applications on the edges cuz they will absorb more
