    So today I rubberized the underbody. I was impressed with the texture and ease of spraying it on. Two quarts were on the thin side but it looked awesome!

    Since it looked so good, I also did a first coat of Herculiner. It also turned out better than expected but I FORGOT THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP! WEAR GLOVES!!!!!!v I have never had anything on my hands I couldnt get off with scrubing and cleaner. This will not wash of even with the harshest chems in my garage. Its almost like fine black stain. Now I have to go out in public this weekend with black arms and hands.

    I'm not a fan of the hurculiner for the same reasons Boyink stated. I'm NOT looking forward to taking it off of the new tub I just got...

    i love the herculiner in my tub, just make sure you go over it with their top coat so it won't fade. I also used the herculiner as undercoating on the bottom of the tub and fenders and it holds up very well.

    So right! To remove the bedliner (unknown brand) from the floor of my '69, I had to resort to torch heating just enough to degrade the compound and wirebrush it off. Lots of work, a terrible stink and a tremendous mess.

    Your hands look like mine after a POR 15 session without gloves.
