[A/S] Floor rot = ?? epoxy resin



Hi Dan, 

You might be interested to know we still have the '67 22' Airstream with the
Git Rot repaired floor. That section of floor is still the strongest part of
the floor. 

Since writing that article:

I've revised my thinking to include using ANY of the cheaper brands of epoxy
resin.  IMHO, all of them are overkill for repairing Airstream floors.
There's no logic for buying the most expensive product.

You've already heard from Jim Smith (JSmith1805@aol.com). He has extensive
experience using these products. I'm sure he'd reply privately if you had
specific questions for him or if you wanted an "expert consultant" while you
are doing the job. 

Suggestion: I'd be very intentional about choosing a string of dry, warm
days to do the job if your Airstream is stored outdoors.

We're planning to be at the Open House in Vermont later this month. Our tow
vehicle will be 1975 Mercury Station Wagon (daily driver) with a mirror
shined 17' aluminum canoe on top.  We're bringing our 1967 22' Safari.
