[Rhodes22-list] FW: Rotting Wood supporting the Cabin Sole

[Gaines, Mark]

Rummy,

Thanks for the info.  I have no problem with the cabin sole rotting.
However there is no question that the support that make up the bilge
area were not plywood (marine grade or other).  These are what is
rotting.  It's almost as if the assumption was to us pine or some other
wood for these supports and assume that the fiberglass coating will
water proof.

I have taken pictures with my cell phone and can send those along.

Mark,
Welcome to the list. Your problem has been dealt with in the past as Ed
has  
suggested, but I have a couple of questions. The sole of the R22 is made
with  
marine grade plywood. This product is all but indestructible and will
handle  
almost anything us owners will throw at it. If you could post a couple
of  
pictures with an accurate description of your problem and needs, we
might be  
able to help you with an easy fix.
Several owners have tried everything from treated plywood to
underlayment,  
but the only wood to use is marine grade plywood. It is made the same as

regular  plywood, but the glues are designed to withstand constant
temperature 
changes  and moisture levels.
Unless your cockpit was submerged in water for a lengthy period, I find
it  
hard to believe that the stringers have rotted.
Hope this helps.
 
Rummy
