not sure what most people do but we did floor & about 5 inches up sides. This seals the edge.   Just make sure the surface is clean & dry.

Bother!!

This afternoon I've started waterproofing my own van floor, I meant to takea couple of before and after pics...But Tosh dragged me off to quaff 4 pints of Kronenberg :o

I'm using a fibreglass flooring kit, got from Peter F for £100 + vat.
More expensive than Protetakote but much harder wearing, but a lot cheaper than the speedliner option.
Messy, but something you can do yourself....don't half pong though!

Got to have time off tomorrow to do the topcoat, I'll post some pics, just wish I'd done a series of them now, ahh well....
