[C320-list] Interesting discovery on cabin floor

[Jack Brennan]

Hi Jeff:

Your note raises some interesting questions.

I’m not going to deal with adhesive until everything else is cut, but I’ve been wondering whether it makes more sense just to put down the Lonseal with the screws and maybe some light adhesive. That seems to be the way Catalina did it. 

Epoxy seems very permanent. These floors don’t last forever. I’d like to make sections easy to replace if one gets damaged.

I’m planning to visit a high-end lumber yard tomorrow and talk to them about a couple of sheets of good plywood. Catalina used cheap stuff, and it’s falling apart where water dripped over the years.

Thanks for the tips.
