HELP with Al's bed liner

I went to spray in Josh's bed liner tonight but i ran into a snag, BIG TIME.
The primer in both of my kits is rock hard!!! Do i have to use it? I cant find any tech number for Al's. This is pissing me off. I have had this crap for 8 months and when i go to use it i cant. The truck is suppose to be in a show THIS SAT!

So anyone with any insite please chime in ASAP

I sell Al's products. I would highly suggest the primer to get proper adhesion for the top coat. I could probably get you some new primer shipped out ASAP.

Well I called AL's today and they were SUPER apologetic. They sent one out from the warehouse today. i should have it tomorrow.

One more question. Should i clean the gun when i am done using it or, wait till it dries and then peal it out? I have a can of the mold release coming.

Please do post some pics and also comments on how you like the stuff and how hard/easy it is to use.

I plan on getting some of this at some point in the future and am always open to seeing more pics and opinions on the stuff before I pull the trigger.

Yes please.

How much does this kit cost? I found their website and some dealer listing info but no pricing.

Thanks ranger.

One question I'm not sure I've asked before came to mind when seeing those pics. Do you recommend using the tape with the wire in it for clean edges? By the looks of those pics the guy just used "normal" masking tape. As it seems you are with your work I am a bit "****" on my trucks and "broken" (no straight) lines like that bring the OCD out in me...

Tape with the wire? Never seen it. I plan on using regular body shop masking tape when I do the inside of the crew bed. I will be going over the rail on it to so yes I want a straight edge. Every time I have done a DIY liner lit with other brands the regular tape worked fine. Just make sure you push the edges down tight.
