I'm the one who a month or so ago bought a roll of a roofing material to use on the floor of my Westy to use as a sound proofing. Okay I've established a few things - I'm going to use Waxoyl as a rust preventative and also boiled linseed oil for the same reason. What do you think - I'm going to remove the stove/sink and fridge cabinet and then the backseat. I plan on coating each and every body cavity (on the bus you know...) with the boiled linseed oil and allowing to soak, followed by a generous coating of Waxoyl. Should I do the same on the top side of the floor, then applying the noise matting on top of that, and then sitting the cabinet on top of the matting --- or should I just put the matting on the floor where the carpet would be. I know I'm definitely pulling all of the cabinets for a big rust inspection but can't decide about how liberal I'm going to get with the Waxoyl and linseed oil and then whether to sit the cabinets on top of a layer of the noise mats or work around the cabinets. Confused? I am sort of but I may also have just answered my own question. Without the archives I can't hunt for everyone's previous experiences. Thanks everybody.
