[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4244795, member: 15054"] I researched coatings and the above stuff and you must sand the entire aluminum surface with 40 grit and then prime it with zinc chromemate primer and then apply the Durabak within the 1/3 of the flash time for paint coating after primer. I read some of the roughness is not shoe friendly for some folks. Yea that is ok as they and many others have smoother texture. 2 coats recommended to keep the stuff from being transparent though you may need 3 coats. At 2 coats you get 60 feet square per gallon I have 168 square feet or surface. $420 for the coating and about $150 for good primer and I am in no way sanding all those little cracks in that aluminum floor to be able to get complete stickage from this stuff or any floor coating. I am not that enthusiastic for a fishing boat to look like a jewel. The clean up for this textured stuff mentioned soap and water and a scrub brush The real issue is this is a fishing boat and I will be on my bare knees most of the time filleting bait and cleaning fish. Soft would be better. Yea I do not use a platform I always sit on the ground to fix or do things. Right at 110 for carpet then the price for glue. I want to keep this on the less expensive side because it is a test project. See if it is better all around than my other pontoon boat. I have to buy material and get some foam etc to reupholster the seats and other stuff, so mo money. Paid 1K for the boat and bought carpet and made new bunk boards. I had the wood. Bought load range F tires and so I have $250 more in this so far. [/QUOTE]
