Spray-on rubber

[Bury_Dave]

Does anyone know of some kind of spray on rubber compound that 'hardens' after being sprayed ?

Thinking of something to spray the inside of my aluminium top box to line it so that it doesn't damage anything put inside it (like a spare helmet). Especially over the bolts

Anyone else tried such a thing ? Seems like it might be cheaper than a liner bag. BMW want £76 for one that fits properly !

what about bed liner used on pick up trucks, it's got a fibre glass bit's in it and a matt, it sticks to stuff like shit to a blanket. I think it's called speedliner?

Will work out expensive for what you need, and can be messy..... closed cell foam is what you want, this will do the job perfectly

 

[Bury_Dave]

Cheers Lo-IQ. Looks interesting. However, it looks like it's a specialist spray applied thing and i suspect expensive to install - especially for a quarter of a pint volume i need. Unless i can find someone who's having it done and get the top box done at the same time for the cost of a couple of drinks ......

Has anyone done something similar or different to line their top boxes ?

Erm..... yeah, see post 3

Actually it wasn't a top box as I hate the fekin things.... it was a set of TT ally panniers

I don't have any pictures to hand but I lined mine with PC Sound proofing material, made by akasa iirc. Cut to shape, easy to fit and about 3mm thick rubberised compound.

Here is the stuff, it's backed with 3m adhesive and works really well, I also used it to line my toolbox.

It was enough to do a 46 litre givi.

If you look at the times, you'll see i was busy writing as you were posting

The fact that i hadn't mentioned your post is also a giveaway

But thanks for posting all the same

As it happens my work comp won't let me view your link. Is it porn' related ? ;-) I'll check it out tonight.

Have tried the closed cell foam. I cut up an old German sleeping mat and tried using sticky backed velcro. Looks pants and not amazingly effective. At least not how I've done it !

if you find a speed liner dude and he's doing a big project I'm sure they'd be cash freindly....if you know what I mean, it's how I got my pickup done.... for a few sheets of folding paper....

If only. Where i work it's like being in Communist Russia. People grass on you for bullying if you look at them strange. I've tried the IT with bribes before and they are all conforminst cnuts who will not buck the system. None of them bikers of course !

True but I didn't post a reply until 10:43 letting you know that you'd missed my 10:35 post at 10:36.... okay now this is getting confusing

Okay plan B, do you have any Blondes with short skirts there? (preferably female), get one of them to ask.... that always works

Glad i'm now not alone in that confusion !

If only. The HR 'girls' (known to us as the three witches of Macbeth ... ) are not about to hire women who are better looking than they are not !

Of course

And you really need to change those Pink boxer shorts.... they clash with your Blue socks

Car body underseal.

Wurth do one that hardens properly, rather than staying a bit waxy .


Never tried it though on panniers.

I have lined a previous set of boxes with a 3.99 camping mat....one of those cheapo foam ones....it was bright green

 

[Timolgra]

This is why eventually we buy a set of Vern's panniers which are hard annodised

Devcon Flexane.

Comes in 60/70/80 sure hardness

[Bury_Dave]

At least Den understand me !

all i was looking for was something that would have the texture and 'bumpability' (new word for the OED ) of copydex. Anyone ?

It needs to be flexible and soft and to adhere to the aluminium. Needs to be able to cover nuts and bolts.....

Perhaps i'll have to stick with the foam sleeping mat and sticky velcro i'm currently using. Would prefer something less Heath Robinson looking though.

It was worth asking here as if no-one here has a solution, then a solution like I am looking for can't exist as there's some pretty resourceful folk hereabouts.

 

[Rare-Red]

You asked for a product and a solution.

You didn't say cheap
