I used this last year to patch some bad spots on my plywood floor of my enclosed trailer. I paint the floor every year but years of water, sh and 5 gallon pails slamming downb the floor developed some rot. I patched it, sanded it and painted it. The patches held up way better than I expected.

What kind of prep work we talking with that stuff?

Depends, for simple patching, just make sure any loose crap is out of the hole, if it’s a big hole I’ll drill some “grab” holes in different directions in the hole, blow it out, fill her up with filler then let dry. Use a chisel to clean it up, hit with a rattle can of primer, then paint. It’s my favorite wood filler for stiff that’s getting painted. You can even thread the stuff… put some vaseline on your bolt, pack the filler around the bolt tight, give her a few screws in and out, then let it dry and unscrew the bolt.

It will hold screws no problem.
I’m not saying your doing it wrong or that the stuff you are using won’t work, just giving an alternate idea. What about laying down some sacrificial 1/4 or 1/2 where it gets beat the most? You could even get some OSB or sheathing from construction sites (in pieces) probably for free. I get my thicker rubber roofing from the guys that are tearing it off commercial roofs, they can’t always give it to you because of rules, but they will roll it and set it next to the dumpster for a six pack…so a friend tells me.
I thought about that but all my equipment is bolted down and I didn’t want to take everything up. If I do just spots water and sh will get under it and stay wet.
I use black mats from Home Depot and put them on the floor where the pails and buckets beat up the floor. That has saved a ton of damage, should have started doing that when I got the trailer. On the weekends I take the mats out and let the floor dry completely which also helps. Again I should have been doing that for years.
My next trailer I’m gonna spray bed liner down and use the mats.
Tractor supply had the horse stall mats on sale the other day for about 20, they are thick and either 3x5 or 4x6, can’t remember. I keep two under my FID bench. THose things take a beating.
Aren’t you a south jersey guy? If so, Ollie’s periodically gets the 3x5 thicker chinese floor mats in for about 19.99 (less with a coupon). Buy them and stick them outside for about 5 days while they off gas then you could do that trailer end to end after you lay your spray coat down. They have those crosshatched raised portions to prevent slipping. You are in an awesome market, except for the taxes down there.
I have family down in south jersey morristown or moorestown (can never remember which), Mt. Laurel, and clarksboro. I go to OC almost every summer since I was a kid.

I saw those horse mats at TS. They are nice and priced the same as the thin mays I bought from Home Depot. My wife is. an Ollies Hawk. She finds some good stuff there too.
I live outside Ocean City. My main market is Ocean City. If your ever down here again and need anything hit me up.

My sister in law owns a shore house, well half of one you know how that goes, and it probably needs done. DO you hit morrestown/morristown area? When I was at her house I looked at their blue flagstone around their pool. Wand marks all over it. I asked my brother and he said “don’t say a word”. She likes to do things herself. Messed up all that flagstone, I bet that was well over 10K down there. Went into the garage and saw a harry the homeowner unit with hose laying all over.
Man I could go for some dots pastry, and some puccinis, and hit that seafood joint (32nd st bridge I think, can’t remember). love that stuff. If I lived down there I would be 450 pounds. I love OC. I will be heading that way in August. 5.5 hr drive (with the hammer down) and the whole time hoping I don’t get stuck on the schuykill or hit the shore traffic hard. I bring a roll of quarters for all those damn tolls. I love to see the streets flood down there after a hard rain, you just don’t see that in the mountains.
Did they let the bars in? I wasn’t there last summer.
PM me your info and I’ll pass it along to them. I’m not trailering around philly to do his house.
She’s way past my service area but thanks for considering me. OC is still a dry town and I don’t think that will ever change. We try to hit the mountains (Poconos) at least once a summer. We usually rent a house up by Camel Back or Big Boulder and get away from the crowds for a few days. It’s so bad here that I stop washing on the islands after 4th of July. There is zero parking spots and too many pedestrians to spray with SH.
Poconos is in the East, nice place, except for all the NYC peeps in the summer. I’ll pass along your website info for her shore house, if she’s interested, since it is in OC. If you don’t hit moorestown/morristown, do you know someone in that area other than the wood guy.
Sorry, I forgot again how SNJ is. That would be too far for you. I live in the sticks, we drive 30-45 minutes to get somewhere, we live in nowhere. My mother complained once while my wife and I were visiting that the place we asked to go to was the “whole way across town”. 5 miles. We laugh about it all the time. I drive 6 miles just to get to the closest gas station, in SNJ I would have driven past at least 4 strip malls in that time.

Try Diamond Roof Cleaning. He might service Moorestown. Morristown is in North Jesrey.
