my holey floor

posted by  someone claiming to be chris ulrich on  Tue Dec 25 23:17 CST 2001 [RELATED]


I pulled up the crap carpets in my 164. They
were worse than I thought. They were flat pieces
of carpet tacked into place with sheet metal
screws that, you guessed it, were put through the
sheet metal of the floorboards. Ick.

I want to patch these holes so that they don't
get rusty or let water into the floor or anything
like that. I guess a couple holes are okay if I
think of them as drains, but these are not well
positioned for that.

I was thinking of sanding around the holes on
both sides, then painting with POR15, then
globbing jb weld through the holes. Is this a
reasonable approach? The holes are only sheet
metal screw sized, but even so I don't like
them.
