Al's Liner
Al's Liner Urethane/Acrylic Coating System, is designed to be the markets first and only professional
grade urethane coating for Do-it-Yourselfers. Be it Truck Bed Lining, Undercoating, Interior Coating,
Chassis Lining or just General applications around your Shop and Home, Al's Serves up some serious
protection no matter where or why you use it.

Al's Liner was developed from one of the leading Industrial Protective Coatings and Truck Bed Lining
systems. Established in the mid 90's, Al's has been used in so many different applications we could not
begin to list them all. Our system is not reduced, this is why it must be spray applied, unlike many Roll-on
coatings Al's provides the ability to apply it as thick or as thin as you like with a variety of textures and in
the color of your choice.  Al's Liner provides individuals the opportunity to apply a heavy duty
acrylic/polyurethane protective coating to virtually anything.

Al's Liner provides not only a high build and long lasting protective coating, but also offers the ability to tint
and match an endless array of textures and colors. This gives you the options you need to protect and ad
an aesthetically pleasing finish to your projects.

Al's Spray Techniques.
Al's Liner can be applied in various fashions and can have the chemical ratio altered to achieve various
textures. Below are our recommendations to achieve the textures and thickness you desire.

Reaching your desired thickness:

Al’s Liner can be effective at various thickness, depending on your application you will not always want
the 65 mil application most coating systems talk about. With one gallon of Al’s Liner you will get 20 to 25
mils thickness across a 60 SF area and 60 to 65 mils thickness across a 20 SF area. We have found that
the easiest way to determine the depth of your coating, (without out using a mil gauge), is to simply
measure out your area to be sprayed and then determine the amount of material needed using the
guidelines above, for example. 20SF at 25 mils would require 1/3 gallon of Al’s Liner. Please remember it
is simple to make your own mil gauge using a piece of thin sheet metal, cutting it to a point and marking
the required depth. This will help novice applicators get the feel for applying an even coat of Al’s Liner.  

Achieving Different Textures (Air Flow and Trigger Control):

This will fall into two sections, first being air flow settings and trigger control. When trying to vary the
roughness of your texture, the simplest method is to play with your air flow and trigger. You can increase
the air flow and reduce the pull on your trigger to break the material into smaller particles and get the
rough grainy texture of sand paper. If you want to get an orange peel look or larger clumps that will
smooth out during the curing process, reduce the air flow and pull the gun trigger farther to increase the
size of the particles sprayed from the tip. You can adjust these settings to fine tune the texture and still
maintain the vertical hang of the material.

Achieving Different Textures (Reducing the Catalyzer Mix):

Another method used to vary textures is to reduce the amount of the Chemical Part C that is listed in the
mix chart. The catalyzer is what provides the vertical hang in our mixture; it also causes the material to
thicken and produces the standard texture you will see. You can cut the Chemical Part C ratio in half and
reduce the thickness and increase the cure time of the material allowing for a smoother finish. Using this
method and the air flow and trigger methods you can achieve a virtually smooth finish. The down side to
reducing Chemical Part C is that you will lose vertical hang and will begin to see sag in the material on
vertical applications. To prevent sag, simply reduce the thickness of your applications and apply multiple
layers to get the depth you are looking for. With a ½ ratio of Chemical side C we recommend applying no
more than 20 mils at one time, allow to set for 10 to 15 minutes and spray the second layer. The material
will bond to itself and allow you to get a 65 mil thickness is you so desire. For more tips and tricks to
varying texture and thickness feel free to contact us at 800-999-6841.

Adding Metallic Flake or Aggregates to Al's Liner:

Al's Liner excepts a large variety of additives, be it metallic flake for appearance or aggregates for non-
skid and traction control. First let's look at Metallic Flakes: the easiest and most affective way to add
metalic's to your coatings is to spray your base coat with the color of your choice. Then mix a micro batch
of natural material and add Ultra Fine Metalic's, it is very important to only use Ultra Fine Metalic's, an
inexpensive place to get this type of flake, believe it or not, is Lure Kraft. They provide Ultra Fine Metalic's
for fishing lure makers. The amount of metallic mixed is up to you, you can go with a heavy mix and get a
thick layer of metallic or lighten the load for a subtle flake over lay. Mix the micro batch and mist coat the
entire area immediately after spraying the base coat. The thin mist coat will bond to the uncured base
coat and dry clear to give you a brilliant metallic look. Now let's look at Aggregates: Al's Liner will accept
virtually any aggregate, the most popular are sand or pebbles and of course rubber granules. The only
restraint is making sure the size of the aggregate is small enough to be sprayed though the port of you
Al's Liner Spray Gun. You can find a large variety of sizes and colors at your local TSC Stores or most
Hardware Stores. Rubber load is commonly used on trailer gates and floors as well as decks and entry
ways, it provides a non-skid additive and is not rough on bare feet or animals etc. Sand and gravel provide
a similar non-skid additive but can be hard to the touch. Our recommendation for aggregate mixture
would be a 25% mix, so if you are mixing 1 gallon of Al's, we recommend approximately 4 cups of rubber
granules for more information of metalic's or aggregates, feel free to email us at info@alsliner.cim or call
or Tech Line at 800-999-6841.

Al's Cleaning Recommendations.
Al's Liner can be easily cleaned from the substrate and from the application gun. Below are our
recommendations for cleaning spills, over spray and left over material in your spray gun.

Cleaning up over spray or spilled material:

Al’s Liner can be cleaned in a couple of different ways. The easiest and recommended manner of
cleaning up over spray or spilled material is to wipe the material up using denatured alcohol and any type
of cloth that suits the surface you are wiping. This will remove the coating prior to it setting up and
prevent you from having to scrape the dried material. If you have a spill or over spray on a finish surface, it
should peel off once it has set up but be careful, Al's will adhere to scuffs and scratches that you might
not see. We recommend getting the material off before it sets up.  

Cleaning your Al's Liner Spray Gun:

Cleaning your Al's Liner Spray Gun is as simple as it gets, before pouring material into the Al's Liner
hopper gun, spray inside of gun and hoppr with a non-silicone mold release or simply wipe in a fine layer
of vaseline, once you have finished with your application, turn the gun up side down in a bucket or on a
disposable surface and allow excess material to drain out of the hopper. Allow the left over material to
set up for 6 to 24 hours and then simply dismantle the gun and remove the hardened material. If you are
continually spraying the same color, there is no need to clean the gun between batches, as long as you
don't let the material harder between spraying. If you do need to switch colors and the gun has wet
material left, pour some denatured alcohol in to the reservoir to break down the remaining material. Pour
out the alcohol and dismantle the gun cleaning each part to insure no contamination of the new color.

Al's Liner is meant to be used under the specific mix and spray instructions included in the Al's Liner
package. Failure to correctly follow these instructions may result in applications failure, and all liability of
this failure will be at the strict liability of the applicator.
