[QUOTE="Mel Kyper Sr, post: 339680, member: 11956"] I'm starting to make some progress. I've cut and fitted some marine plywood for the floor: https://i1305.photobucket.com/albums/s542/TimM49/boatfloor003_zpsacd6c641.jpg And I am in the process of sealing it before it gets wrapped in Nautolex. https://i1305.photobucket.com/albums/s542/TimM49/boatfloor004_zps02e665c8.jpg https://i1305.photobucket.com/albums/s542/TimM49/boatfloor005_zps687a377b.jpg Unfortunately, many of the products used by tinboaters in the US are not available in Canada. You can get Nautolex $26/yrd CAN but you can't get the adhesive. (The supplier here recommends 3M 80 spray but its $41 can and only does $75 sqr ft.) They won't ship Nautolex 88 to CAN or a PO Box. DAP Contact Cement which tinboaters have recommended is not available here but I can get it at Home Depot in NY. Epoxy resin is expensive as well. I've read that many used Spar Varnish instead. You can get Spar Urethane here but real varnish is harder to find or very expensive. I'm going to Home Depot and West Marine in Buffalo on Sunday. Hopefully, I can find some value there and won't get hassled at the border bringing it back. Have a great day. [/QUOTE]
