Dropping the floor in

There was a question about the plan to drop in a new floor.

I have already ordered a 1/8 inch sheet of 4 ft. by 8 ft. piece of fiberglass. The plan is to, once I get the sheet, to cut it in the shape of the floor. I have already cut out all the existing fiberglass and created a clean surface on which to drop the new fiberglass in. The new floor will be shaped to fit my exact outlay. Instead of glassing it all by hand, the sheet is already made. Once it is shaped, resin will be rolled onto the floor, with 7% filler to extend the setting period. Resin will also be rolled on the bottom of the fiberglass sheet. The whole rolling (the resin) will take (hopefully) only ten minutes. Once the resin is in place, the new sheet of fiberglass will be dropped in. Once in place, a 10 foot piece of plywood, once again cut exactly to the floor, will be placed on top of the new sheet. No resin in between the fiberglass and the plywood. On top of the plywood, weight will be place evenly throughout, designed to guarantee that all of the resin will stick to the fiberglass. Once the resin is set and dry, the plywood and the weight will be removed and the new bottom is in place. After that, I will use fiberglass tape and resin (including fillers) to fill in the cracks. The new bottom will be a better finish and much easier to put in place.

Today I have been clearing up all the aluminum on the boat and will hopefully send much of the chrome to be rechromed.

Thanks all.
