Hotdog Posted June 9, 2011 Report Posted June 9, 2011 I am thinking about using Herculiner to cover my new box I just build and was wondering about how much do I need to buy to cover a 15ft^3 box? 17.5"x46"x35" (NEW) 2004 F-150 Build Log -->http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/192208-hotdogs-f-150-build-log/ 2003 Mercury Mountaineer Build Log --> http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/114380-hotdogs-2003-mountaineer-build-log-20-removed/page__gopid__1602379#entry1602379 2008 Equinox Build Log --> http://www.stevemead...g/#entry1475764

nCOMP1337 Posted June 9, 2011 Report Posted June 9, 2011 i wouldnt go off of your size of box comnpared to his, OPs box is like 16.3 cuft and your box is 10.8 cuft, his is 150% larger than your box, so if 1 can did yours, he would prolly need 2 17.5 x 46 x 35 = 28175 / 1728 = 16.3 cuft 55 x 20 x 17 = 18700 / 1728 = 10.82 cuft

So 2304sq inches into 6055sq inches Just had to find the coverage but I don't know if you would lay it on same thickness as you would on a truck bed. based on soffhands it should have taken two qts to cover his box but he did it with one so i should be able to do mine with two hopefully.

nCOMP1337 Posted June 9, 2011 Report Posted June 9, 2011 i think youd be fine, as long as its laid on even, if you run out, you can always get another quart, that way you at least dont buy too much as far as thickness goes, i thin k that would be personal preference, id think youd want it to be covered a decent amount, but you may get the outcome you want and look without going too thick, iv e never used bedliner myself
Hotdog Posted June 9, 2011 Author Report Posted June 9, 2011 Last box was carpet to match interior but I have heard that carpeting will cost you some DB's so I figured I would use bed liner or something that would turn out nice without carpet to squeeze out a tenth or two on the meter.

nCOMP1337 Posted June 9, 2011 Report Posted June 9, 2011 i have heard the bedliner may help with acoustics, would it function sort of like the spectrum sludge at all?
Hotdog Posted June 9, 2011 Author Report Posted June 9, 2011 i have heard the bedliner may help with acoustics, would it function sort of like the spectrum sludge at all? Good question and I don't know.. maybe someone that has tried can chime in on that one.
