Rhino Lining My Deck?

[Apex Lawn & Landscape]

So Im thinking about Rhino Lining inside my deck to prevent rust/ wear & tear . Has anyone heard of this ? I think it's a great idea, obviously have to cover up the bolts etc...let me know what you guys think.

I have it in my truck bed. Pretty good stuff. Never heard of anyone using it on mower decks.

I don't think it would hold up well, hard to recoat, and grass would stick, but maybe try it on an old mower like a 22" walk behind first. let us know what you do

Well not rhino exactly..more like linex, I too have it in my truck. I think it will hold well and clean easy with the pressure washer . I will let you know

How to keep wet grass from clogging your lawn mower.

i love the product they use for rhino linings and it is trully indestructible but to put it on a lawn mower deck would be a major mistake.

the deck surface must be clean and smooth with non stick properties which rhino lining does not posess.

if you want to try something try tephlon.

Since this came up a bunch of times, can you explain why this is a major mistake?

Theres a spray they make that you can put on the insdie of a mower deck to keep grass from sticking to it but I would think it would have to be sprayed a couple times a week at least. Never used it just heard about it a week or so back. In my opinion, I wouldn't use the Rhino Liner because, should water become trapped behind it, it could rust out your deck faster, and if you hit a rock its bound to eventually tear a hole in the liner then you might have the issue of it peeling loose and the blade catching on it and making a sound like your mowers gonna rattle loose on ya. Thats just my opinion though.....

I'm gonna pass on this idea as some of you made really great points..if it's not broke then don't fix it kinda jazz I guess! That spray you guys are talking about is a dry film aerosol made by JD...called super lube aerosol. It's water resistant/ won't wash out / dust retardant. I actually have a friend that works with for a branch of 3M and he's sending me some samples.

Interesting.

I tried Fluid Film... what a joke.

MoDeck works better, but must be applied more often.

I've given up and just scrape and spray with a hose now.

Lol..word! As stated..it's just a sample, no more hard earned money on products that rant and rave on how well they work! Only until I see results. How nice was today in our area hedge? Wow I could have worked till midnight!
