Trailer flooring
OK I'll bet it was this stuff then:

From what I have read the solvent-based version is much better than the water base version. The above is the solvent (oil base?) version.

I installed a Murphy fold down bed in the front of mine. It stiffened up the front wall, which helped the side to side movement/stress (caused by a sidewall mounted tire rack) and the miata is small enough to merely roll to the rear of the trailer, without unloading it, and still fold out the bed, if you need to sleep at a rest stop, etc.
I have all sorts of **** planned for my gutted 24'. I'm using the linex base dusted with abrasive media and diamondplate in the rear. I also plan on partitioning the hauler in the front for awesome living quarters... including drop down bed/futon, refrigerator, HVAC split system (heat pump), wide screen wall mount, auto-tuning satellite, carpet, maybe even a ****/shower combo.... a rolling bachelor pad 
Can't forget about the grill either!
Dark commercial carpet will work best... might not be the softest about will hold up longer.

Well I decided to go with a two-part solvent based epoxy. After much reading and deliberating I went with Sherwin-Williams Armorseal 1000
ArmorSeal 1000 HS Epoxy - Protective & Marine
It is normally used for concrete floors but many have used it on plywood trailer floors with good success. Enough mix for two gallons costs about $150; it comes in two one gallon containers (epoxy and activator) which are mixed together 1:1. I am laying it down in two coats and applied the first coat tonight (only mixing 1 gallon). The plywood really soaked up the first coat so the second coat will definitely be needed to smooth it out. I am rolling it on. Pics later.
You definitely want to use this stuff in a WELL ventilated area. I had the back ramp and the side door both open, with a light wind blowing through, and the fumes were still quite powerful.

I called DuPont on their expoy garage kit when at HDracing, they said not to use it as it would crack at the floor seams. Let us know how it goes - still have to do mine, still thinking of linex stuff.
