So, what we did was drill a series of holes that were in a grid pattern at 5 inch spacing over the area. We had to be careful to only drill through the top layer of fiberglass and just into the wood core. You don’t want to go through the bottom layer of fiberglass, because your CPES will just drain out. The saw dust from drilling was dry so we didn’t need to do much more than use a shop vac to pull air through the holes. We injected the CPES into the cavity, flooding it completely. You are supposed to wait a week before the next step, but we moved on after 5 days. here

Next, I used a 4 1/2 inch grinder with a sanding disk and sanded a slight indent along the cut lines. This creates a low spot for you to lay strips of fiberglass matting. Since it was a smaller area, I coated the entire board after building up the joints. Once it was cured, I glued a new piece of carpet over the repaired area, and reattached the seat mount. more

I often get asked advice about a rotted boat floor. Just because you have some rot on the floor of your boat, doesn’t necessarily mean you are doomed to a giant bill. There are many levels of severity, so let’s see how many boats we can put back into action.

This was another case where the tops of the stringers were starting to get rot. Again I treated the stringers with Smith’s Original Clear Penetrating Epoxy Sealer [CPES] where they were damaged. I was able to use the old floor pieces as a template for cutting out the new floor, being sure each one fit before moving on to the next. more

I bought a 1997 Bayliner Fish and Ski that had a soft spot in the upper front deck of the bow where the fishing seat went. You could hear the rotten floor crackling when you stepped on it. Someone had tried to put a patch in another area near it, and they messed up the carpet, so it needed new carpet anyway.

A cat’s paw bar is a nail-pulling tool with chisel-like claws designed to dig into the wood surrounding a nail just below the nail head. Striking surfaces for hammer blows are located so the claws can be driven through the wood to the nail shank. A rounded heal acts as a pry bar fulcrum so nails can be pried out as you pull back on the bar shank. [links]

The homeowner had recently completed some plumbing upgrades, which took care of the water source for the rot, but the floor damage was already done. The demolition stage of repairing a rotted section of subfloor is like cancer surgery. Once you get started, you must keep following the path of the water-born destruction until you reach the full extent of the damage. You don’t always know where the surgery will take you. Sometimes it extends along subfloor framing for some distance. It can also damage the wall framing around it. more

After marking the floor plate with a square, our carpenter Chad cut it with a reciprocating saw so the bad section could be replaced and so the subfloor underneath could be removed. [links]

Wrapping up the subfloor in the adjacent bathroom required an interesting puzzle piece to bridge the floor joists, to match the diagonal shiplap of the existing subfloor, and to accommodate a toilet drain.

He nailed the scab to the existing joist with nails approved by the manufacturer of the treated wood, which has specific fastener requirements.

Re: All Fiberglas Boats Have Rotten Stringers After 15 Years? more

Different woods will defend against fungi, like bamboo, red wood, cedar ipa, teak etc etc. These woods are succeptable to- rot though, if kept wet for long periods of time just like any other wood.

[Kir]

WOW. I guess Skinnydippers stringers are going to rot this year, as she is hitting 14 years old.

[daltonmiddleto]

Now back to the rot. Again, rot is caused by wood staying wet or atleast staying wet long enough that it becomes an attractive source of food for fungi. Fungi can not live without a water source. It will die without water. That being said, there are some that say that there are certain fungi that can create there own source of water/moisture, it has yet to be proven.
