Sealing the under side of a <span class="highlight">caravan</span> wooden floor

G`day Collin,

"Pabco Hydro Seal" available from most hardware/paint stores.

Scrubby.

Hi Colin
Sounds to me that the builders did not use marine grade Ply.
you had better keep a good eye on it as when it gets wet frequently you will after time need to replace it.
good luck
Ed

Hi Collin,

I used a bitumen paint sealer called "Ormonoid brushable waterproofer" made by Davco.
Messy job but a great product.

Cheers Kerry

Serioulsy anything is better than nothing.

The only thing special about the tar or butumen products is they tend to handle rocks and stones better than ordinary paint.

If you want to get under there with stinky tar.......might as well plaster everything in sight under there that does not move with it.

If you are less inclined to play with tar..any exteriour paint will give you more protection than you have...and go a couple of coats.

cheers

gday mate

yea i used the sticky tar stuff.
horrid job and i did end up painting everything in site, but i think this was a good thing as i also sealed up all the gaps between the floor and the chassis, so no dirt sand or moisture can sit in those favorite areas of rust and rot.
i did thin it down for the first coat with turps, still not a fun job.
just to add in the larger gaps i used a bit of silicon then b/paint over top, again not fun

i bought a 4 ltr tin and ended up with about half left over

cheers
