Should I remove the ply wood floor before using protectakote? - I have sealed the joins Thoroughly do you think it will be ok or shall I rip it out?

Thanks

might be a good idea cos if it gets wet and starts to rot you would be reekin window cleaning

rip it out, i dont know what van you have or how old it is, but if your going to the expense of protectakote you may as well do a proper and thourough job mate, you wont regret it

I too am about to protectakote my floor.

If I rip out the ply and paint the floor, will I be able to replace the ply after or leave it off?

I wouldn't replace the ply floor as it will rot PDQ.

I made use of the ply floor by making a cover for the tank in my Dispatch.

protectakote that's what it's used on in  the boat's

Well i have gone through the trouble of sealing it so I might as well paint on it!
Thanks for the replies.

We work with water, if you have something between the floor and the air that water can get trapped under, regardless of whether the water is pure water or not, you have the potential for trouble.
Throw the ply away, if water does get trapped under the ply it will not be able to evaporate, and it's that that causes the problem with rusting and so on.
