Dave, I had the rhino liner sprayed into my truck bed. The only thing that has touched it is it's been sliced by my putting my metal ramps against it and loading motorcycles. As far as the flat part of the bed, I've spilled gas,, oil, you name it and it's bed on the floor of the pickup. No problems. I had it put on in Dec 97 Other than that, on one of the hotrods I'm working on, I was going to use the roll on stuff on the inside of the floors and in the doors, quarters for sound deadeneing.

I've fallen in love with the stuff as a replacement for undercoating. First off, it looks just like undercoating. That's great, especially when trying to achieve the correct "look". You can also use it for a real undercoating base, and apply real undercoating on top of it for increased protection. Next, the stuff is impervious to just about everything I've thrown at it. On my test piece of steel, it's now survived a day in battery acid, a day in carb dip, and a day in gas/carb cleaner. It's based on Crazy Glue, if I understand it correctly. The labeling states that once cured, it can only be removed by sandblasting, grinding, or intense burning heat. Now that's my kind of coating! Plus, it stays reasonably flexible to boot. The reason I brought it up, is I just painted the DeSoto fuel tank with it tonight, and I'm betting the stuff would be wonderful in sealing small seeping leaks. (On the outside, not the inside. I don't trust it that much yet.) While I was at it, I took apart my fuel tank sender. There's not a whole lot to it. Basically, there is a wound cone of wire and a brass slider. In electronics terms, it's a simple variable resistor. Cleaning up the slider and the cone made a non-functional sender into a functional one in only about 10 minutes. For those of you desparately hunting a new sender, try cleaning up the old one first -- it might just fix it. -Dave
