Tip on repairing floors-trunk

["MO ( Steve Mick)" <micher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My 64 Dodge B body had pretty good floors except for two smaller patches and 
a couple of areas with several small holes and weakened with pits.  I wire 
brushed the topside of the floor and cleaned the dirt from the underneath 
area.  Then I put duct tape over the holes on the bottom side to prevent 
leakage.  I coated the top side with a thick layer of POR 15.  Then I cut 
pieces of fiberglass woven cloth( not the stringy fiberglass matt) and laid 
it into the POR 15. I pressed that down so the POR would soak into the 
cloth. If you have ribs , angles etc. cutting the matt on the bias works 
best - fits the contours better without lifting.  Then I gave it another 
thick coat on top with the POR 15.  I left it to dry overnight and thought I 
may need to give it another layer of fiberglass. Today it had all dried and 
it is TOUGH !  I think the POR15 actually worked better than resin would 
have.  It is a little flexible so expansion and contraction shouldn't loosen 
it and it sticks better to metal.  I don't think it will need that second 
coat.

 BEWARE---POR 15 will get on your clothes and skin no matter how cautious 
you are!!! and you have to grow new skin to get rid of it! :-)  ....MO
