That is a good theory. I like it. I had a shield over my back box which was so rusted I was pretty much able to pull it off by hand and I had to remove it to treat the rust on the floor over it. I can't say it made any difference to the floor overall but immediately above the shield was not too bad.

might put the carpet back on under the board :huh:
