Floorboards

["Simon Matthews" <simon_atwork@hotmail.com>]

I suggest that anyone installing new wooden floorboards coats the new 
floorboards with a few coats of marine grade epoxy coating, once they are 
cut to fit and all the holes have been drilled.

Epoxy coating provides a very good barrier to moisture and so will preserve 
the wood (and the glue) within. It also gives a very hard surface for 
painting. The only thing it is not good at is withstanding UV, so you do 
need some paint on top of the epoxy.
