delamination

[andrew_5039821]

hi our caravan floor has floor delamination i have read loads of topics and it dont seem to bad to do as a diy job .

But one thing bother me is carpet thought i could lift and roll back and relay but the caravan stuff are all built onto carpet ( bailey pageant 1997) not going to be easy to relay .

Has anyone done this job fron under the van ? or is it possible ? some one said use foam which they use around pipes etcc . please help

cheers andrew .

Andrew, simply use a very sharp stanley knife to cut the carpet along the edges of the furniture, then to relay, use double sided carpet tape.

The adhesive you need is Apollo A7510, it is made for the job, unlike expanding foam which is made to fill large gaps and expands too much for a van floor.

Working from underneath is a nightmare and really not worth trying, as attempting to get a liquid to travel upwards and stay there is impossible.
