I was looking seriously at using that stuff until I read the
installation guide for it. It's not good in direct sun or
big temperature swings. I figure that pretty much ruled
out a GMC, but maybe others have used it with success.

Now I'm leaning toward a cork floating floor. I've been
testing all the flooring samples I get by soaking them in water
for a day or two, figuring that there will again be leaks at some point.
A lot of the products swell up like a balloon, but I found that if I seal
the edges of the samples with varnish, many are reasonably impervious.

I heartily agree with your sentiments on carpet, though I haven't
found a reasonable way around it for the cockpit area.
