Here is a bit of history: First on the scene were epoxy based products. They were not very durable, they cracked, peeled, etc. Then, ONE-part polyurethane products came along. One-part means that the polyurethane is suspended in a solvent. A catalyst is added which starts a chemical reaction that removes the solvent so that you have just polyurethane left. They were a significant improvement over epoxy based products. Examples of today’s one-part polyurethanes include Herculiner, Duplicolor, and Durabak. The newest technology is TWO-part polyurethanes. Two-part means that a resin (usually a polyol resin) is mixed with isocyanate (a hardener) which renders the polyurethane. Two-part polyurethanes are harder and much more durable than one-part polyurethanes. Two-part polys are used on today’s boats, airplanes, etc. Examples of today’s products that have two-part polyurethanes include LINE-X and Rhino.
If Eastwood is a do-it-yourselfer, you might want to find out for sure if its a one-part or a two part polyurethane.

I just got done looking through the Eastwood website AND the catalog that I have in my "library". I'll be danged if I can even find anything for the bed. Maybe my half-heimers has gone to my eyes...I'll study the catalog again later. But I agree...Line-X or Rhino are the only way to go for durability. Why don't you ask Mil1on about his Herculiner? It's been nearly a year since he did it to his pickup with the kit.

Thanks...I found it this morning, with your help. I still didn't see it in their catalog at home, but I'll snoop it more tonight. That system doesn't look as thick as Line-X, which can be put on as thick as you want. the thickness of Line-X serves to strengthen the box and minimize flex. I don't know anyone personally who uses it so I can't comment on durability with either of the aforementioned products. The Eastwood product looks thin, but it has a pretty good write up, so I guess we need to see if anyone has used it and get their input.
