The new comp trailer - Page 3

KC_Bobby · 02-02-2013, 11:36 AM

whats the trailer weigh dry and will you transport your smoker(s) in there?

Cayman1 · 02-02-2013, 03:59 PM

1850 lbs.

We use WSMs so not much weight there. Three 22's, an 18, and a kettle.

Now on the lookout for a stereo tuner with iPod dock. I have speakers that will hang off the trailer drip rail, on a temporary basis while at a comp.

Finished the painting.

Lookin' Good!

Finally got the walls and floor done. Weather hasn't been cooperating. Had to take trailer back for a leak around ac and that set me back some.

Trying out some ideas for prep area but I think we will use it a few times and get a feel for what we want.

Nice setup.

Question about the Herculiner....Is that going to be difficult to clean? I have heard of other people using it also. And I would like to do mine but, I am concerned about the gritty texture and cleaning. Anyone have input? Did it take more than one can?

Thanks

Don't know about cleaning yet. Plan to just hose it out. I caulked the seams along the edge so floor should be sealed everywhere. I like the texture, keeps you from slipping if feet are wet. What I don't need is to to drop a meat just before turn in!

I bought 2 one gallon kits. Product, brush, and rollers. I could have done it with a gallon plus a quart, but I liked not having to clean the rollers, plus gray isn't as easy to find as black. Ordered from Amazon.

DO NOT use without adequate ventilation. It is thinned with Xylene, nasty stuff. I wore a respirator, and a good one. Don't just use a dust mask. Took 2 coats and first coat took about 5 hours to dry enough to get on it for second coat, but like I said, weather wasn't that good. You will need 2 coats as instructions state.

Cayman1 · 02-13-2013, 11:27 AM

Thanks. Got tired of dealing with bad weather.

Are you putting a fridge in the there? I did my trailer with the Herculiner s well and I really like it. I only really have access to a walking path at comps and I roll out an 8' of kitchen mat for the ankles, knees and ease of clean up.

Cayman1 · 02-14-2013, 07:03 AM

Haven't really decided on the infill yet. I plan to use it a few times and decide then and not fall prey to the "more is better" idea.

Iamarealbigdog · 02-14-2013, 09:05 AM

Interesting concept for the Herculiner, it was an option we were given for our trailer order, I'm kinda on the fence about.

Would you aply it to the door ramp as well?
