polyurethane and SH.

Rubber matting, glued down, screwed down and then joints sealed. I found some at Tractor Supply thick stuff too, 1/2 if not thicker

My neighbor showed me this stuff called Herculiner. It's paint on bed liner and I'm pretty sure it's an epoxy. He painted a the floor of a tree stand for hunting and it looked like good stuff. I'm going to line my truck bed with it. I don't think epoxy is sh resistant.

So the Herculiner would not be good to use? I like the rubber mat idea.

I was head football coach at a school last year and I over ordered those rubber mats for our weightroom. We probably had 20 or so mats left over. Wish I had some of those now.

to those of you that use rubber mats do you go up the walls a little bit with them?

I use a black rubber roof material, its about 1/16 to 1/8 thick and wrap it under trailor then screw it in with washers, have had it there now for second season still looks great... check with your locale lumber yard or building materials , it comes in all sizes so one piece did my 6x10 trailor...

Looking for something to put on my plywood trailer to make it SH resistant. I could go purchase some of that do it yourself bedliner stuff, but the stuff that Walmart carries doesnt look all that good.

Would the SH eat through the Polyurethane?

Have you thought about using some of the new recycled plastic board materials out there to replace the ply wood?

Thanks,

I used the herculiner two coats on the floor and two coats half way up the walls. Cost me about two hundred bucks and is holding up like it was brand new.

Good call on this and the rubber mats too. There is nothing you can paint that plywood with that will block the SH for long under daily usage. Unless you are 100% leak and spill free. We have tried epoxys and what-nots on boat floors that were rigged in from plywood and it always fails quickly. The plywood is just too porous and weak. I have used 2x4 and 4x4's in my rig that end up with 1/2" gouges in them within 3 months after they are completely coated in silicone.

You can buy silicone in buckets and trowel it on then lay the rubber matt, bolt it down and silicone the holes before you place the bolts. Use 1/2" wide washers. Then silicone the edges and reapply the edges and bolts yearly. This will probably get you 2 years out of that plywood. That white bathroom plastic board may work too.
