plywood floors and fire retardant

Post by Gordon Mohr » Fri Feb 17, 2012 8:35 pm

Thin plywood for use on floors etc can be obtained as mahogany door skins
from many lumber supply companies. It is about 1/8" thick, very light, and
dirt cheap. I used that on the forward floor from the firewall back to the
seat and for the cargo area. It really stiffens up the floor. You can walk
all over it without denting the thin floor skins. It's also good for sound
deadening.
I sprayed it first with flame retardant from aircraft spruce. I later
found the same stuff at a fraction of the price in a sports store sold for
fire-proofing tents .

Not as toxic as some foams, (PVC, Urethane) but is flammable.
You could cover the sheet with thin plywood or maybe non-
flammable carpeting or seat cover material. (After all, seat foam is
urethane.)
