floor holes

I'm converting a short bus with an aluminum floor plan, and am in the rust removal/prep phase. We just started wire brushing to get any rust and oxidization off. Is a rust converter like ospho okay to use on aluminum during this step? Forgive me if this has been answered, I couldn't find...

Will be kicking off my Skoolie conversion project soon and have seen a myriad of creative ways to address the holes in the floor after the seat removal process, and would love to here what you did, and why, to best address this part of your build process. I reside in the NW on the coast, so we...

So I got everything out of my bus which is a Blue Bird International and now I am on to the floor. I wired wheeled all the bolt holes and any loose rust. So my plan is to use Acetone, then wash, use Ospho, then wash, patch all holes with plain steel and OEM grade seam sealer, primer, then paint...

Hi guys and gals, So I’ve just teamed up with a couple to build out a 2000 e450 shuttle bus. They want to turn it into a rolling place to host kids birthday parties/ corporate events/ tailgates etc. I’ve got a fair background in carpentry and understand mechanical concepts but this fiberglass...

Hi, Has anyone used 3M Marine Adhesive Sealant 5200 to fill the floor holes left from seat removal? If so, how does it hold up?

We’re trying to figure out how to seal the holes in our floor, from bus seat bolts and plywood floor nails. Found this video of someone sealing them with rivets: This seems like a great idea, and now we’re wondering why it doesn’t seem like most of the people on here are doing this. Is there...

Hey. So I removed every last bolt in the floor and the rails( which was a b****h) but it’s all clear. Just wondering best way to remove some excess surface rust. Wire brush on a grinder kind of works but not that great. Also, I’ve heard a couple ideas of how to really seal all the holes in the...

First of all, what’s the best insulation. My buddy has bunch of r22, half inch , silvery stuff i am thinking of buying for cheap and doubling up on. I am leaving the air conditioning units in... question is, should I remove them to insulate behind them, or is it a safe bet to let them there...

Hello, I am the Need Help Guy. Thank you to everyone in advance. Building my first Skoolie, seats removed and exter of Bus almost completely painted. Other than that I am open to any information for certain. Thank you.

So I know some people get pretty annoyed at new threads on topics previously covered, and I understand why, BUT...I have some questions still on floor prep and treatment as I'm getting ready to do this. Here are the steps I've gathered so far from reading various threads and builds. I'm mainly...

After about 6 weeks of a break, I am finally back at the bus! Since I don't have a power source at the moment, I decided to get the floor ready and painted. It feels like I have swept this thing 1000 times but the dust kept coming! Thankfully we are finally ready to paint! Thank you for...

I recently bought this short bus and the previous owner already gutted it to its base and started prepping the floor. According to them they used a grinder on the rust and then added a coating of Rustoleum. The floor appears to be in good shape aside from two minor rust holes and all the bolt...
