Worst piece of advice I've seen on this board!
: SCRAP OLD FLOORING. SUBSTITUTE THE SAME TYPE OF CEMENT BOARD YOU WOULD USE IN THE BATHROOM. COVER WITH TWO OR THREE LAYERS OF FIBERGLASS CLOTH. SAND BETWEEN LAYERS. CATALYZE RESIN WITH MEKP AT NO MORE THAN 1/2 PERCENT BY WEIGHT. WORK IN OUT OF SUN AND COOLER IF POSSIBLE. MEASURE FLOOR SIZE X THREE FOR SQ. FT. OF CLOTH. MAY NEED UP TO 5 GAL. OF GENERAL PURPOSE POLYESTER RESIN FROM REICHHOLD CORP.NO NEED TO GLASS THE UNDERSIDE. APPLY RESIN TO CEMENT BOARD WITH PAINT ROLLER , LAY IN CLOTH WORK RESIN THRU CLOTH WITH SQUEEGEE. SAND ID DESIRED BUT COULD COVER WE RESIN WITH SAND FOR NON SKID SURFACE. BRUSH OF EXCESS WHEN RESIN IS CURED.
