Hi, Has anybody used one of these:-

http://www.caravanstuff4u.co.uk/FLOOR_DELAMINATION.HTML

I have some delamination I want to sort out next weekend and was going to buy the 2 part adhesive kit with the big syringe that you have to mix. However the above seems an easier option to be honest and is half the price. Im not on a tight budget so Im thinking is it cheaper because the product isn't as robust or good? For info the other kit I was looking at is:-

Will do. I have taken the carpet up today in the van (what a pig of a job. took just over 7 hours) and then next weekend I am going to do the delamination repair so I can get a new carpet down the weekend after. Will let you know how it goes.

7 hours good lord!? I did mine this evening in preparation of doing the same job. Although my carpet I'd laid so it was an easy removal job. 15mins tops :)

I know. I thought it wouldn't take more than an hour. However the carpet went under all the units and the backing was very tough to cut through, even with a new blade in the Stanley. Also a previous botched delamination repair (Glossop Caravans for you) had resulted in the resin seeping through one of the floor joints and sticking part of the carpet down. If Glossop had done a proper job in the first place I wouldn't be having to do this current de-lam repair. As you can tell I have a lot of love for Glossop Caravans.

If you are going with the one shot keep your wooden dowels in a bowl of water.the one shot is like expanding foam and relies on water to activate it.

I used the one shot stuff last month and I am very very pleased with the results.
*Removed carpet
*Draw grid on effected area to mark out evenly spaced drill holes
*Drill 205 9mm holes! Very simple, no need to measure the depth, just drill through the top layer of ply and as soon as you are through, stop the drill and then just push the drill bit through the foam until you hit the bottom layer of ply.
*Cut 205 pieces of 9mm dowel to the right length for the depth of the hole. Run one end of each one in a pencil sharpener to make them easy to insert - put them to soak in water
*chop the top off the bottle's nozzle and start squeezing it in the holes, do a few at a time and then go back to top them up if need be
*insert all the dowels
*leave for 48 hours

No propping up from underneath!
No weighing down on the inside!

Just let it get on with it. After two days the floor was rock solid! No uneven or bulging floor, as the resin is a type of expanding foam but it is a low expansion foam which expands slowly to fill the gaps, not the normal stuff which expands massively and can force things out of shape.

To clean up simply use a wallpaper scrapper to remove any excess foam that has seeped passed the dowels and then sand it down to ensure a smooth finish.

We then covered the whole floor with stick on vinyl floor tiles that look like a wooden floor - very impressed!

I have a Dalesman 420/2 that has spongy floor from the kitchen to the front seats, I understand it to be delamination. As I am disabled would the other alternative be If I had the carpet cut around all fixings and use that as a template to have 1/2 ply put on the floor? Or is that not a good idea. Please advise.

not a good idea as your doors and fridge may not open.buy a roll end from a carpet warehouse lay it on the ground and use the old one thats cut out for a template,cutting half inch larger all round.take inside and fit as required.

Hi, laying down ply over the top isnt a good idea for the above reasons, but also this will not cure it as this is laid on top of the old surface the problem woul still be there. just a quick update too on the floor. This is now done and has set ok. The stuff is easy to use but can be a bit messy. When it sets its very similar to expanding foam. It doesnt set as hard as the resin does but it does do the job, however if I were to have to do this again I would probably go for the resin option.

Thanks for the info, I might go for the one shot option.
I will have to wait for my son to give me a hand.

I found the one shot to be excellent stuff, my floor was so bad I wouldn't stand on some parts of it for fear of causing permanent damage. The one shot solved it and it's now rock solid, even under my 23st weight.

Hi Big_Dan, the floor has now had48  hours and does seem to have firmed up just that little bit more now. I had tested it after 24 hours.

Yes we certainly noticed a difference between 24 hours and 48. After 24 I was a little concerned that I could still feel a little movement, but at 48 it was much better. We went back 5 days later to clean it all up, sand back and lay the new tiles and by that point it was absolutely solid. So it does keep slowly expanding and firming up over a few days.

So far longer than the resin, but far less hassle and less mess.
