Re: [bolger] Re: Plastikote Bed Liner
I would doubt Herculiner is affected by mildew. I can't imagine mildew
being a big problem in a holding tank.

never get water proof as it sprays on a lot like the "texture in a can"
stuff for drywall.
I put the Herculiner on my truck the weekend before last and that stuff
sticks to anything. It gives a very rough texture but that wouldn't hurt in
a waste tank. In the long run it's half the price of the spray cans too.
With a $20.00 rebate coupon my cost was about $50.00 US. It comes with a
brush and a roller and the gallon just covered my Ranger truck so I would
guess it would easily cover a nice sized waste tank. This stuff is water
proof and highly chemical resistant and with its roughness, a built in
agitator to boot.
I intend to epoxy and glass my tanks, then put Herculiner inside as well.
I won't use it for fresh water though, I'm to scared of what it might leach
into the drinking water.
Oh, and with a heated shop, I'd never complain about the cold! :>)

in a can (something like duplicolor). I've been applying it to knife
handles. CT as also has a kit for about 50 bucks that is for a
tougher stuff, and line-x has some very cool coatings. In that order
of quality, they certainly do build. The spray can stuff I have
isn't all than non-skid, I haven't handled the line-x yet, but the
one photo I have of it it looks very rugged, and the Oshawa folks
seem helpful, so I am looking forward to trying it on knives. It's
heavy and the stuff I have is black. I wouldn't prefer it over sand
and epoxy, but to each his own.

Jeff,
Will this stuff allow you to build up many layers for a thicker
coat?
I've been toying with the idea of getting one of those pro truck
shops to come down to my boat and shoot the plastic bed liner goo
straight into the empty spaces destined for use as holding tanks. If
the stuff can come out as thick as some of the bed liners I've
seen,then it strikes me as a perfect product for lining ALL sorts of
plywood tanks thus rendering them "forever" water tight....or is it
water proof?! From there,it would be only a short leap to
plywood/plastic lined gas tanks,je pense!
Sad to see how desperately low the water levels are in your
lake. I hope you have a very wet/snowy winter so that there will be
plenty of water for when R/WYO gets launched. I'm praying hard for a
mild snow free winter up here(fat chance!)......hmmmm.......sure
wish there was a way to ship some of down to you before it gets
anywhere near here :-)
Continued success and don't start complaining about the cold ;-)

I tried something new today. I ran across some 20 oz. spray cans of Plastikote Bed Liner for trucks. It's not suppose to be the ultimate protection like the Herculiner I used in my pickup but it supposed to be a good anti-slip surface. I gambled and put it on the back deck lid on the Wyo. It was easy to install and I got a nice even surface that is dimpled and slightly rough to the touch. I plan to paint over these areas which will make it easier on bare feet. This stuff sticks very well to the epoxy surface and gives a professional look. It does not create a thick build up like you see in normal bed liner materials, it's actually dries thin. It took two $8.00 cans to cover about 14 square feet.
I've never had good luck getting a nice even surface trying to sift fresh paint with grit to make anti-skid areas. The tape off is the same to get the squares with the rounded corners but the spray makes it easy and dries in about 15 minutes to pull the tape and over night before you use it, or in my case to paint.
I have a couple photos at the bottom of the page on my website.
