underfloor coating with truck bedliner

[KA]

Hi,
Hope I haven't missed this thread. Has anyone used rubberized truck bedliner coating underneath their trailers? I understand that it can be sprayed on at a shop. Would this work to protect the underside of the trailer without falling off going down the highway?
Thanks.

It prolly would work pretty well... But, it sure is expensive for something you'll never see? You could use "Rot Docter" on one of the other epoxies just as well for less money and paint it on yourself (you can even get carbon black to tint it with). For that matter... the "Black Goo" roof coating stuff is dirt cheap and works fine for most people.

Thanks Brick. Those are great ideas.

I used rubberized undercoating on the bottom of my tear. It was about $4 per spray can and it took quite a few. It works great.

My nephew shot the bottom of my woody with Line-X bed liner. He has the franchise and did it for his old uncle for nothing. It works great, however it added unwanted weight and when I built my second tear, I simply coated the bottom with roofing pitch, which works just as well as far as I am concerned. Just flip it up on end and smear it on everywhere.

Roly, PS, with Line-X, it probably would pass the float test

Hi Eric and Roly,
Thanks for the replies.
It sure seems like a lot of people use the roof tar. I was wondering about how well it works in hot weather. Does it get sticky and attract road dirt? Does it smell like tar? (Sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere)

Thanks again!

I don't think it gets sticky to the touch, something will stick to it if left on it but not if it brushes against it. It smells like tar ugggh for about a week but when it stops smelling up the place, you know that it is dry.

Thanks for the info, Asianflava.
Happy Thanksgiving, too.
