Can I Use Flex Seal as a Truck Bed Liner?

Using a product like Flex Seal as a truck bed liner may be an appealing idea due to its versatility and ease of application. It’s designed to protect surfaces from moisture, corrosion, and wear and tear.

Flex Seal is a liquid rubber sealant coating that comes in an aerosol can. When sprayed onto a surface, it forms a waterproof barrier that seals out moisture, air, dust and grime. The product also provides protection against rust and corrosion.

When used on the bed of a truck, Flex Seal will provide some degree of protection against dents, scratches and other minor damage caused by everyday use.

It can also help prevent rusting in areas where the paint is damaged or worn away.

However, Flex Seal does have some drawbacks when used as a truck bed liner. For one thing, it doesn’t have the same level of durability as other more traditional types of truck bed liners such as spray-on liners or drop-in liners. Flex Seal won’t be able to stand up to heavy impacts or abrasions as well as these other types of liners.

In addition, Flex Seal is not designed for use on surfaces that are exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods of time. UV rays can degrade the sealant over time which can lead to peeling and cracking.

Conclusion

Flex Seal can provide some level of protection for your truck bed but it may not be as durable or long lasting as other types of truck bed liners available on the market today. Before applying Flex Seal to your truck bed, consider all your options and make sure you understand the pros and cons associated with each type of liner.
