Slide floor repair tip

[JimC295]

I have not read any tips on this subject and if it is common knowledge I'm sorry but it was new information to me. I'll try to keep it brief. If you catch a slide floor early and it does not have much deterioration from water damage you can use a penetrating epoxy to harden your floor and then repair you issue. I discovered this tidbit of info repairing the ends of the logs on our home in N GA. The site I found was https://www.rotdoctor.com/ They offer products for the marine and homeowner industry. Just a thought I had and wanted to pass along.

Is the damage on the inside or outside underneath. 

Gaurdian plates are a good fix on the outside.  https://talinrv.com/guardian-plates/

If the damage is not too bad I would think you could use the product you linked to and/or an epoxy.   The hard part will be getting it to penetrate the whole are. 

I used epoxy on a number of projects, the last one was fixing my wet bay floor, which was in bad shape.  https://www.irv2.com/forums/f115/wet-bay-floor-repair-quick-fix-642856.html

If you use the slow cure epoxy it would allow it to flow into all the nooks and crannies.  It can be messy, so protect everything.  

If it is underneath I've had good results using a extra large syringe with flexible tubing to push the epoxy into areas.  When I repair a area of delamination I even improvised a injector using a heavy plastic bottle, length of copper tubing and air. It easily placed epoxy 3 foot up the wall.

Jim, I'm not doing a repair that I was commenting on. The product I used on my home was CPES but they are out of stock on that. Their suitable sub was also a penetrating epoxy called S1. It flows really well in wood and it has really helped me save some badly rotted logs on my home.
