Has any one a clue to how long a bottle of one shot delamination floor kit lasts for once opened ? I just done a 12''inch by 8 area of my van floor and need to buy some more Dowling to complete the rest of the repair .
As long as you keep the top on and don't let damp air get in it lasts ages. I have one that I used about 6 months ago and it's still liquid. Others I've used have set in the bottle, moisture starts a chemical reaction, it foams up then sets hard. That's the reason for soaking the dowels first.

loads of dowels are essential in my oppinion.. they support the two layers of ply.. the amount you get with kits is not enough. they are cheap and the more you fit the stronger the floor..
its eight years since i did mine and its still fine..

Mine has lasted the test of time too, OK, I had to add additional areas as they received the same wear and tear as the original one over time but the job is still sound.
I agree entirely with trog on this, use plenty of dowels, it adds strength to the whole construction and are as cheap as chuips. Soak the dowels before inserting, the water activated the foaming action of the one-shot.

its the dowels that provide the strength.. cut to the correct length they provide a solid wooden support between the two layers of ply..
it does need lots of them though but they are cheap and the holes are easy to drill.. dill a bunch of holes squirt some glue into each hole and tap in the dowels..
i cut my dowels to length first but they can be just tapped in and chopped off afterwards..
the hardest part of the job is removing the existing floor covering..
practice on a small area first..
