Al's bed liner kit?

I found a DIY bed liner kit online called 'Al's bed liners kit'. Has anyone ever used this stuff? Is it any good? What about the heat and noise deadener?

Here is a link to the websight: Al's Liner Buy Online

Thanks
JM

Skip that go Herculiner. Just get a gallon for like $70 bucks and roll it on with Home Depot rollers. You can get the kit for like $120-$130 but I get like 2.99 rollers at Home Depot they are better than the Herculiner ones and cheaper too.

If you go this route, share your results. I'm very curious myself. I've used Herculiner before and it was ok, but I can't say I was overly impressed. It went on thin to me. I could still see red in spots under the liner even after putting on an additional quart from the gallon kit. I had trouble in the Florida humidity rolling on the Herculiner fast enough before it started hardening up on me in the pan and can.

GLOVEMEISTER, you should just keep your moth SHUT when you have no clue what you are talking about.
Herculiner is 1st class garbage. I know I have used it. It is a paint on crap that peals off like paint.
Al's is the best DIY bed liner on the market.

Here is a link on ACTUAL herculiner usage , read it all
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/9...-bedliner.html

Now back to the topic at hand.

I did a AL's bed liner in a friends 79 F150. It is a really nice product, VERY similar to a rhino or a line -X. It is the EXACT liner as a Scorpion line, just sold in smaller quanities for the DIY.It is a 4 part mixture that chemical bonds and dries

O did i mention it can also be tinted to color match


here is a link to my thread on the Al's bed liner.
