J-B Weld HERCULINER Truck Bed Liner, Black, 1 Quart

Goes on kinda thin but looks very good after 3 coats.Have to keep mixing it while using it.

Prep is the key -- follow the directions and it will turn out great. Yes, the lid is a pain, but fortunately I was warned.

great texture. tough paint. like it

This bedliner is supposedly the best. Since my application is not typical - my review must be considered somewhat subjective. I read on a forum where heavy equipment operators use it to seal/coat their treated wood planks on utility trailer decks when they replace them. This brand in particular is specified as the best to weather proof and block UV damage, while holding up to all sorts of abrasive traffic , maintaining its adhesion, and aesthetic good looks.Well I need to replace the decking in my trailer and wanted a life time job. I purchased the best marine grade treated pine planks accessible in my area - since no exotic hard woods were available. I bought 4 qts. The shock for me was opening the cans! They are nearly impossible to open - appearing like paint cans but theMetal is softer and std paint can openers will not pry them off by working around the lid circumference as is typically done. Once I FINALLY removed the lid it was obvious it could never be replaced to close again. So either you use it all up immediately or have a new airtight container ready to transfer the leftovers into when you are done. Xylene is the only recommended thinner for this, so having some standing by is also a good idea.The stuff did mix fine and seems to coat the wood surfaces with fair uniformity using a roller to apply it. I also used a brush to apply it to edges of the wood. Time will tell so far as the major issues of how it works, stays on, and protects. But those cans ate a real PITA - and I had to subtract stars just because of the mismatch experience I felt after selecting such a high cost, great reputation product, but then not being able to easily dispense or store it for use. One of the cans was dented up on its bottom as well, but it didn’t seem to be a factor in the overall experience. Just strange.EDIT 6/20/2020:I bumped the star rating up to 4, (from my previous 2). This stuff is likely to be the best coating/sealer product I have ever used. Since my personal application is not the primary app of lining a truck bed - it is the raw properties of its chemical make-up that I am rating. This coating bonds thoroughly to any surface it is correctly applied to, and seems to be impervious to chipping or peeling - even by heavier forces.Before using it on my trailer, I used it on a test project first, building and protecting an outdoor handicap ramp for my mother's porch.Cutting treated lumber for stringers, but only regular plywood for the top surface - I coated the plywood on all sides and the treated wood on cuts and sides that are visible. The plywood is also glued/screwed to the support stringers, which also anchor via steel angle brackets into the concrete pad of the porch.The coating performance thus far has been a real show-stopper. Its non-skid surface is perfect texture, once cured, and as long as you stir it regularly during application, it applies fairly evenly. I used a roller and some assistance of a foam brush. The coating seems to laugh at water, and will not scuff, scratch or peel off - without taking the top material surface off with it. It penetrates and bonds without mercy.My next app is going to be the re-decking of that utility trailer. It is a 4 yr old trailer I had made by Texas Bragg, but the dealer up here failed to inform me that using treated wood on the deck was "an upgrade". I never knew any trailer would be made without it! So it quickly rotted - and I am stuck with a Rolls Royce heavy-duty trailer - but low-rent rotted decking. So I am soon to be engaged in replacing the original planks with treated lumber - and you can bet your bottom dollar the the wood will all first be coated with Herculiner - NOT a knock-off either!BTW - the pricing at my local B&M hardware store is nine dollars less per quart, compared to this seller I bout the first 4 from. But I definitely recommend this stuff to anyone needing a sealer or lining that won't disappoint.

I want sure what to expect after seeing some reviews of this product talking about it not working, not having the texture they were looking for. As for me I have purchased this product twice and it has been as expected, plenty of texture and not difficult to apply. Very happy with my purchase.

Works great

If you're looking at this product it's because it's a heck of a lot cheaper and DIY compared to Rhino Liner. I have used Rhino Liner in both work trucks and show trucks and Hurculiner in work trucks.Rhino Liner is thicker, a bit softer and more consistent in textureHerculiner is thinner, the texture is not as consistent and it's harder.I would not use it in your show truck or brand new $60K rig, you will not be happy with the inconsistent texture compared to Rhino Liner and Rhino cannot shoot over it if try Hurculiner and change your mind after seeing the finish.But for a work truck, it's the way to go. It's a fraction of the cost. You're going to scuff the heck out of it the first time you toss concrete or other heavy items in the back so who cares about the finish look. It'll protect the bed from scratches and rust (Not dents, but Rhino can't do that either). It does a good job of keeping things from sliding and if you really abuse it and tear it ups, just buy a quart and touch it up. Try touching up a Rhino Liner if it tears.

Had a terrible time tryint to get the can open. Used all types of paint can openers, and screwdrivers. Finally got it open, but the lid was riped. Transferred to another container to try to keep airtight and that didn't work. Was able to get partially done with my project, but wasted over 1/2 of the can (it hardened n the container) and had to buy another just to finish.
