Hi folks,

In the past few days I have encountered damage to a 20 ft. travel trailer I own. I've removed a portion of a chip board platform that serves as the coach floor. Under that is 2 x 3 framing that has been soaking in water for who knows how long. There are various stages of rot in process.

I searched the net and came across your site. Does it sound like your products (CPES™, Fill-it™, and L&L™) might be a solution toward restoring a sound frame before a new floor is installed?

Thank you,
Bill P

Bill,

Yes indeed, these are the products that would would need.

You would remove any loose wood, allow the framing to dry, and then saturate the frames with our CPES™ (Clear Penetrating Epoxy Sealer™). This will stop the rotting process and harden the wood. After about a week cure time for the CPES™, you would go back and fill all cracks, holes, grooves etc. with the Fill-It™ Epoxy Filler. This is smoothed in on top of the CPES™-treated wood, and it will bond with the wood at the chemical level. It makes a very strong structural repair.

In these types of applications I doubt that you would need the Layup & Laminating Resin™.

The cured Fill-It™ is VERY hard and VERY strong, and we suggest that when putting nails/screws through it, you first drill a small pilot hole.

Coverage for the CPES™ is going to be about 150 sq ft per gallon in your application. We would also suggest that you treat the underside of the new flooring with the CPES™ for future rot protection.

The amount of Fill-It™ you would need will depend entirely on the area volume to be filled.

Feel free to come back if you have additional questions. If you wish to order, you can do so by phone or our secure on-line order form. We ship the same day we receive the order if we have it by 2 PM Pacific time. All major credit cards are accepted.
