Hey Larry..... Welcome to TinBoats! Happy to have you here.

I can't really give you any advice on the cork flooring as I'm not familiar with the material. The cork that I'm somewhat familiar with is very soft and could hold/absorb water. THAT...you want to avoid for sure.

Hang tight...I'm sure you'll get more and better answers soon.

Welcome to the forums.

I have not heard of anyone using cork...what kind of cork are you talking about? indoor flooring cork?

larry glady · Dec 24, 2011

i'm thinking cork used as underlay for floors it comes in rolls 1/4 inch thick light weight water resistent epoxied should seal and not absorb???

Jdholmes · Dec 24, 2011

ahhh....I know what you mean...odd idea.

I would suggest getting a sample first and doing some testing on it.

I don't know how well it would take the epoxy.

fender66 · Dec 24, 2011

I'm honestly concerned about durability. I don't think it will last long for you at all. IMHO.

larry glady · Dec 25, 2011

any other suggestions for filling the void between the ribs? epoxy and foam filler? balls from bean bag chairs?

fender66 · Dec 25, 2011

If you are planning on covering it....I used the blue 1 inch (I think) foam from the hardware store. I covered my floor in aluminum too....It worked very well.

Do not use this foam near any gas or gas spill areas. The gas will eat it up.

larry glady · Dec 25, 2011

no I dont want to cover the floor& yes the gas will eat the blue foam. maybe i'll just paint it up and forget about it, wish i could post pics maybe glue the cork down and paint with bedliner or something, thanx for lookin

Jdholmes · Dec 26, 2011

I think pictures would definitely help...I don't think I am the only one confused by what you are trying to accomplish...

I believe he is trying to fill in the spaces between the ribs to make one smooth floor surface.

larry glady · Dec 26, 2011

exactly melty only need about 1/2 inch rise& ribs r about 8inchs apart even the drain plug in off the floor at the transom about an inch is there a place that tells u how to post pics here somewhere?

They sure don't make them like they use to.

black would get hot in the summer, how heavy r they?

larry glady · Jan 16, 2012

how thick is the grizzly grip?

fool4fish1226 · Jan 17, 2012

Grizzly grip is about as thick as bed liner type paint. Heres a picture of my boat it has two coats of the fine grizzly grip on it.

larry glady · Jan 17, 2012
