Re: [RC] Trailer Floor Help Needed - Mike Lewis

Right... I noticed he mentioned metal in his reply... but poly and metal is a combination with which I'm not familiar. :-)

Mike, I think you and Dave are starting out with a fundamental difference.
Sounds like you've got aluminum floors and he's got wood.

Thank you, Dave. I'm drawing a blank on the polyethylene... does it apply to
the floor as if it were paint?

Mike: I routinely pull the mats and wash off the floor boards if the
horses had urinated. If not, I don't. So I probably do wash the floor
boards about once every month or so. Once a year, just before winter, I
apply a coat of polyethylene to the floor boards in hopes it will help water
proof them. Haven't yet actually pulled the boards up to inspect the metal.
Probably a good idea, though.

I have a 2002 Silver Star trailer and have noticed that the floor (beneath
the heavy rubber mats) has some discoloration due to urine that has seeped
beneath the mats and been held against the metal. Is there anything I can
use to clean this or to prevent further damage?




There are exposed bolt heads at the floor, by the mats. They are nicely
rusted due to salt/urine. Any fixes for this?




Does everyone actually pull the mats and rinse out the trailer after each
use? (Answer honestly!!) My owner's manual says to pull mats and clean the
trailer every 60 days.




There is no place nearby that offers an acid wash... is there anything that
is almost as good that can be done at home?






Thank you,
