Sign in to disble this ad
I'm looking at a couple different options for covering a cab. I'm curious if anyone knows anything about rubberized undercoating. is it equal to Duratex? Eastwood's Rubberized Undercoating
I have some in my garage, and I've sprayed it on a piece of scrap wood, and it seems to look the same. I'm just curious if anyone knows about this stuff.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: Roswell, GA | | | The undercoating products don't cure as hard. They are for moisture & road salt resistance. The bedliner products cure to a harder almost epoxy-like finish to stand up to moisture, scuffs, scratches, and UV. I did a DIY bedliner finish on a cabinet and it turned out *ok* but to do it right requires a lot of prep work because every seam, nail or staple head, etc. will show. It's kind of like vacu-forming over a cabinet so you should prime the whole cabinet thoroughly to keep the wood grain pattern from bleeding through. It takes lots of coats for the finish to really build up, and 1 - 2 hours between coats so it starts to cure but is still a little tacky so the next coat will bond to the previous one, and a well-ventilated place where you can really stink it up because the solvents in that stuff are POTENT. I did mine in the garage of an empty house I was renovating at the time so I could roll on a coat of bedliner, paint the living room. Roll on a coat of bedliner, paint the dining room. Roll on a coat of bedliner... you get the idea.

| Not my experience. Rollering a couple of coats of Duratex on creates a nice, even stipple surface. Very durable, plus if you ever do ding it up, it's easy to touch up. Easily as good as lots of commercial cabs.
