Ken,
I'm restoring a TR3 and when I found that the tub I bought had a VERY lacy 
trunk floor, the first thing I did was get out the MIG. Everywhere I tried to 
fill, I ended up with a bigger hole. I wasn't about to buy a trunk floor for 
$400 or so.
After talking with the local rep for POR-15 a year ago at a swap meet, I 
bought a kit. 
I had nothing to lose...if I failed, I could always replace the floor with 
metal.
I painted POR-15 on the lacey areas and used some duct tape from underneath 
to keep the paint from oozing out. I then applied a thin fiberglas layer over 
the area to smooth it out and removed the tape.
After sanding it looks great, is incredibly strong, does NOT absorb moisture 
and will be primed and painted soon.....I'm happy.
