Thank you guys. I will try to follow your accumulated advice. This floor is from a Canadian hull. It is 3mm thick.
As an aside, the NZ Bren has a new floor made from Corten. I am not working on that.
When i tried to weld the div plate from the NZ Bren, it kept cracking, when I used the mig. That was "mild steel" (nothing like mild!) from the ship "Bowen" built in 1901. I ended up using the stick welder, and I can't remember which rods.
Anyhow I'm guessing others have patched a Canadian carrier floor.
