Re: [A/S] Rotten floors and the OSB years

"If the wood (OSB or plywood) is solid (not rotten) you could paint it with a couple of coats of shellac and reinstall the flooring. If just a few small places are punky (soft or rotten) it can be treated with epoxy (I forgot the name but boat stores sell it)."


The epoxy mentioned above is a liquid penetrating epoxy. It comes by the pint in a yellow cylindrical can. It is excellent. A similar product is called "Git Rot"

"Boatlife Git Rot pours into the finest openings, penetrates, and saturates rotten wood. GIT Rot cures into a resilient adhesive, which arrests dry rot by bonding wood membranes together with a mass stronger than the original wood. 2 Part Kits.

Use on dried out, rotted, and weathered wood, Also excellent for window sashes, gutters, boat stringers, transoms and keels."

This article is great for the serious do-it-yourselfer.
