Is that all wood in those pics HH54, or is there some rusty metal pictured as well. If it is metal, I'm curious what you use to treat the rust....Extend?

...btw, IF I did not know what I was looking at and just stumbled upon this pic, I would think it was a close up of someone's mouth--particularly their molars...at least until I turned my screen brightness up on my I-phone.

No metal. That wide support in the middle of the pic....not sure what it's called... is fiberglass over something?? Some of the old floor is stuck to it and I'll have to sand that off. The wood at the top of the pic. is 2 pieces of 3/4" plywood glassed together. The teeth looking things are foam.

Yes, was just joking about the molars.

I like to use this on certain rotted wood to harden it up. You?

The recommendation was to drill a matrix of holes 3" apart in the soft part of the panel, fill with water (yes, with water), and start filling, working from one side to the other. The Gorilla Glue is attracted to water, and that will help it spread through the inside of the panel. As it expands, it will push the water out as it works it's way from one end to the other, and apparently will be hard as a rock after it cures.

That’s a pretty cool trick.
Will have to remember that one.
Thanx t550.
