Bad324 Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 I picked up Casper's 6x12 enclosed and debating doing something to the floor and walls to clean it up. I've already ordered a bunch of e-track and what not for added tie down options. Next up is debating painting the walls and doing something with the current wood floor.Anyone ever used Herculiner on a trailer before? I've used it on a couple of our trucks here at work with success but that was brand new metal. Curious to see if it will work on old used wood.

speedytriple Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Like I said it stuck to my dirt bikes plastics. try a small section first to see how its gonna stick to the wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jporter12 Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 That stuff will stick to just about anything! Try a sample piece though, just to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad324 Posted August 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 just dont get the rustoleum crap get the actual herculineryea I'd go get the actual Herculiner roll on stuff from the truck place down the street from my office. I've used it before and liked the results so thats why I'm considering it for this application Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moto-Brian Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Reuben from 35 Motorsports did this to one of his trailers and when we were loading a race bike in GA during some rain, it was probably one of the most dangerous things we ever tried...When the wet tires and your wet shoes hit it, they become somewhat sketchy...

I was hoping it would actually give it added traction. Thanks for the tip because I wasn't even considering it would be worse than wood when wet....hmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpoppa Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 The stuff I used in my truck bed had TONS of grip, it was like sandpaper. It wasn't Herculiner, it was another one. Sorry can't remember the actual brand name, beer must have killed that part of my memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Funny. I thought about painting the inside of the trailer. Obviously I never got around to it. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rslocum Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Painted the inside of mine with a semi gloss white and did the floors with the 2 part gray epoxy with paint flakes. Added sand when I did the ramp to give it some grip when wet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AOW Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 you could liberally sprinkle sand on top of the wet liner to increase grip. I suggest coarse sand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likwid Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Pam cooking spray and tile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 Or just use grip tape... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmutt Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 Mix sand into the liner before you roll it on - that AND strategically placed griptape would cure slippery conditions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beegreenstrings Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 I did my utility trailer and a speaker box plus the floor in the jeep and a number of truck beds. Preped correctely I dont see there being a issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted August 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 I think I'm just gonna end up giving this a shot and seeing how it works out. Hopefully I will be unlazy enough to actually get it done before my trip in early September Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted September 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 i didnt feel like starting another thread and I'm going to finally be working on the trailer this weekend. So I'm gonna install the e track I got and I have 3/4" plywood floor, will 5/8" wood screws work or go shorter with 1/2"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
