Re: Herculiner
 

Spray on Hurculiner. That's the ticket. Thickness can be built up with
multiple coats. Very even finish that isn't overly rough. I'd do it again
in a minute. Looks great and doesn't add that much weight. I used 2 heavy
coats and it only took half a gallon.

Good luck

What type of prep work did you have to do?

The driver's seat and seatbelt?!?!?! Why are you herculining the
front passenger compartment?!?!?! You're not planning on carrying
your cinder blocks in the diver's footwell, are you?

I'm considering Herculining, but I would only be doing the truck bed
portion of my vehicle. I don't know about you, but my feet aren't
abrasive enough to worry about lining anything up front.

You may want to reconsider, lining the entire inside of the tub isn't much
more work, it looks great and super durable. I suppose later on you could
just put the carpets back in if you don't like it, but I think you will.

Re: Herculiner
 

Do you own a Jeep? It's pretty common to line a jeep tub to help cut down
on the wear-and-tear and rust...

Re: Herculiner
 

Not sure if you're asking me, but.... To apply Durabak, which appears to be
similar to Herculiner, you strip out the tub (natch) then what I did was
carefully sand the entire area to be lined using medium scotch-brite pads.
You then wipe it down thoroughly with Zylene thinner. After that dries you
roll on the Durabak using the textured roller, let each coat dry for 3-4
hours until it's not tacky. I applied three even coats.

One thing to watch out for, it's hard to get the roller to stay pliable
after it's used, even if you soak it in Zylene. I ended up having to run to
the paint store and got 2 replacements, which weren't exactly the same but
worked fine nonetheless.

One other thing, the stuff stinks like Hell for a few weeks afterwards. And
I mean STINKS! I put it on over a year ago and it's now completely odorless.
It's really held up ell and looks great.

This ended up being a day and a half of weekend work, and for the time spent
you may be better off just having the Rhinoliner folks do it for you. Either
way, I think you'll like the results.
