Sounds like you have a good plan, the only thing I would add is if you use epoxy resin make sure the area is dry first. Acetone will help the drying process. It is a solvent and will flash off quickly removing the moisture. The second think I would add is when I did mine and it was a much larger area than yours, I used several car jacks and plywood caul plates to apply pressure against the side of a brick building. The spring suspension on the MH was not enough to react the pressure from the car jacks. In retrospect it would have been more stable if the hydraulic jacks were down. Do you know what the substrate is under the delamination? If it is luan and dry rather than particle board and you can push it in with your fingers you should be fine. If you think moisture is still there polyurethane glue will react with moisture and still bond well where as epoxy won't. Good Luck on your project.
Thanks, the epoxy resin arrived today and I plan to apply it tomorrow while temps are in the 60s. The high will be around 75. I will take pictures.
I have used acetone to remove much of the old caulk around the areas to have a flat surface.
It is luan behind the fiberglass and things have dried out considerably in the last few days with fall temps arriving and the humidity dropping into the 30s. The is no moisture within the area and all is very dry. I plan to have 4 wood sticks to mount the board against my house and camper to secure it and apply the pressure.
Thanks for the comments and suggestions!
