Herculiner

Has anyone used the Herculiner Roll on bedliner, if so how durable was it, was the coating consistant, and how much did you use??? Just curious...

I've used it. I bought the gallon for my F250, and followed the directions. The first coat went on really thin. The second coat, I was putting it on thicker, but at the end, still had a third of the can left, so I reached back as far as I could and really piled it on. It has held up well, but 2 years later you can see where I didn't get it on good enough. That was past the part where I could reach. If I had it to do over, I would have just kept doing light coats until it was gone. For the money, I am real happy.

I used it on my 95 F150 short bed, over the rail to where my old hard drop in liner was. Used a gallon and most of the extra quart I bought to do the bed and tailgate. I did 3 light coats following the directions for prep and application. After all the work I ended up putting the drop in back in the truck. Not because the herculiner wasn't durable, but because the drop in was in great shape and it helped with the dents. Plus it slid things a little easier than the herculiner allowed. I have since used it on door sills, tool boxes, and will be trying it out on the inside/bottom of a writer's desk I got from school for free.

WickyMustang were you pleased with the results and the consistancy of the product?

A car dealer friend of mine has used it on a number of the trucks that come thru the lot. They have been pleased. I used a two part epoxy bedliner on my van. So far, so good. Just make sure you prep it really well, get off all the rust, first.

Here's a pic: https://www.ford-trucks.com/user_gal...=60023&width=2
The thin area is actually the sides and on the wheelwells, but this pic doesn't really show it. Now, 2 years later, they have thinned out and you can see the paint.

Thank you I have been wanting to find something durable to coat the outside of my mud truck with, do you think that it would hold up?

Oh yeah. It is holding up fine where I got it on thick enough. Prep is vital, though.

I used it on my Bronco, and love the stuff. It works great, and you can't beat the price.

I loved it. The thing is make sure you do a super good job of prepping. I scuffed up the bead 3 times over with scotch pads I got at the home center. Then cleaned the entire bed with xylol (sp?) 2 times. After that I took my time and put on 3 even coats per the instructions

I prepped mine with a wire wheel in a grinder and a palm sander. Then I washed it on an incline with ajax dish soap and a scrub brush.

I appreciate all the help and the prompt responses, and xylol is the correct spelling!!!
