It's not worth doing an entire floor for.

Whats the best method to inject epoxy into the area and be sure that the entire delaminated area gets epoxy to it ?

Lastly, assuming I want to dry this area out 1st - what dpi you recommend ( short of pulling skin off ) ? Has anyone used the vacuum / evaporation idea ?

This might be a project I do in the winter, under wraps to assure that it gets done correctly.


delamination - I believe what you're saying is - "dry rot"

delamination is when the glass becomes detached from the core

if the area is soft - there's no core there...

attempting to use a pour in / squeeze in product will prove less than ideal



cutting the areas where the problem is,this will prove better - provided the rest of the cockpit deck/sole is in good shape....
