i discovered a strange problem with my fridge and the piece of floor it was fasten to..
it was actually bending the caravan side where the door is outwards.. when the stable type door on the van was pointing outwards a gap formed..
the cause.. my fridge door.. clever stuff this.. how can the fridge door bent the side of the caravan outwards.. he he
well the fridge door is heavy it sits on pin type hinge posts.. there is a good 10 mm gap at the top of the door.. it bounce up and down..
the fridge sits over the vans axle.. each bump the van goes over shoots the fridge door upwards.. the door hits the top hinge with some force and is actually acting like a slide hammer..
the floor at the front of the fridge has tried to lift with the force of the slide hammer door.. the cabinet the fridge sits in has tilted backwards and bent the van side outwards slightly..
the cure.. take out the free play in the fridge door a slide hammer that cant slide aint much of a hammer..
drill a load of holes around the front of the fridge.. bang in some dowels and one shot.. he he
one shot and dowels is so easy to do it can be used to toughen up the vans laminate floor anywhere its needed..
trog
ps.. i am not gonna be absolute with this but dont think its essential to avoid walking on the floor for 48 hours.. once the cure and expansion starts nothing will break if the floor is walked on..

the people that supply the kits self a bottle of glue with a few dowels bought from the likes of screwfix thrown in.. he he
you can just buy the glue on its own.. the few you get with the kits might use an egg cup full of glue..
to be honest i dont think the people that sell the kits know how best to use them they have done what most do and followed the old two part instructions..
the dowels are generic bog standard wood joining parts.. i had a bag in my shed maybe bought twenty years ago.. he he
i did try and find out what the glue is commonly used for but never had much luck with that one..

i think if the floor is really bad and too much glue goes in the expansion problems occur..
i had none of your problems but my floor wasnt too bad and did not take much glue..
one shot may not be the best for really bad floors.. its hard to say.. i simply posted my own experience but my floor wasnt that bad..
you posting your experience all adds to the one shot knowledge base..

looking at my one shot bottle i have used less than 1/3 of it.. i must have banged in 200 dowels.. no air gaps to fill.. mine was just to stiffen up a slightly springy floor..
if there are air gaps (for the glue to go in) i think it will be a whole different ball game..
