Title: Restore Table
Post by: dirtfishingman on February 03, 2020, 08:00:42 PM: Guys,
I’m on a hunt for a nice price of wood to make a replacement table for my kettle. In the mean time looking to fix this up? Anyone ever think of putting truck bed liner on the table? I got a high gloss one?

Never heard of putting a truck bed liner on it!

Post by: Huh?? on February 04, 2020, 04:38:18 PM: I've been debating that too. Line-X or Rhino Linings seem to be willing to spray anything, but I wasn't sure about the rough texture. Or, I didn't know if it would be any more cost-effective than just replacing it with one of the newer metal Performer tables. I do love the results that others have gotten with wood, but don't have the tools yet to try my craftiness. Definitely a future project, but that's why I'm thinking of going with a relatively lower cost solution.

I used epoxy and krylon fusion it worked well.

Beside that their regular version, Bondo also had a fiberglass resin version. I'm guessing you could even find something similar, not specifically for autos, & it would probably be less expensive because it is not geared towards a specialty market.

I sprayed the bottom of the OTP with bed liner too since I toss all my accessories there (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200211/cc787b756b5dda2658906e216b32c7c8.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200211/e5b6a86d184b33056b0c0137131782e1.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200211/a970a7de1d841220f7719c04260f3e21.jpg)
