Holes from seat bolts..

I started by caulking the holes. That didn't work so good. Then I used pieces of window screen and caulked them up. Better but time consuming and left a bump on the floor. Finally wisened up and used the bondo with glass. Happy camper. Fast and sandable. Easy to do a bunch in a short time.

The guy that tore up my floor used Liquid Nails to fill in the holes (after cleaning the surface). He then glued the plywood to the floor and caulked the sides.
 
I also used the Fiberglass on my floor and ended up loving it. If anyone else is debating what to use, I would recommend it.
 
I sanded then painted the floor with a first coat of Rustoleum white. Afterwards, I took aluminum HVAC tape and cut it into small squares to tape over the holes in the floor, then did a second coat of paint over the entire floor hiding the tape. Laid down 1/8" inch aluminum backed styrofoam with spray adhesive, then topped it off by bolting a new layer of plywood to the sheet metal floor.
 
I used galvanized roofing caps and NP1 I'll probably do something similar on this bus when I get there. Welding would be the best but the underside of the weld should be painted after to prevent corrosion. My current bus has an undercoat to prevent rust which appears to have mostly worked. I wouldn't want to burn to much off.
 
Here's a thought most are 5/16 or 3/8 . large headed pop rivet with tip dipped in silicone and popped in wet

That's awesome. I haven't put my flooring in yet...It's been a year now of stepping all over them everyday and those plugs are tough.
I really like the Henry's crystal clear 212 and find I'm using it alot during my build. But also, all I do is plug up the tube with a screwdriver...can pick it up to use it a couple weeks later and it's not clogged and good to go. I also use it as glue for the felt strips I put around the windows when insulating. And... I fill in all gaps where water might enter around the window. And...I run a fat line of it along the bottom edge of the windowsill before replacing the windows.
It's good stuff. If you make a mistake, wait for it to set and peel it off easily.
I can't say enough good things about it and the many ways I've used it. I might even name my bus Henry when I'm all through LOL

Hello Tobeamiss -

Super helpful to read everyone;s methods for water prevention! Using Henry's, how are your windows holding up 4 years later?
