Re: Coating cannister with pickup truck bed liner

Yep,

I used LineX on mine. Works well. Had it for about 2 years like that. I did sand the black off it though. There are other things to do but they would add a little bouyancy. Depending on what you want. A thin foam wrapping over it and then LineX. Gives you an airspace between the LineX and the Can. LineX hardens well. I have had a guy do a bunch of things. Even a 4 Wheeler. I had my backplates done too. Little texture keeps them on my back a little more without sliding. Also, no deburring. Covers all sharp edges.

And ISC has come out with a plastic can. That is insulated. With the lined AL can. You have tough and Insulated.

Has anyone had any experience with coating their cannister with pickup truck bed liner, such as Linex?

I was in FL cave country last week. I had a good deal of condensation inside the cannister. On long duration cave dives that seemed to be causing issues with the sensors. The water is around 70 F. I was told that coating the cannister with truck bed liner adds a bit of insulation and reduces the retained moisture. Does anyone have any experience with it? I'm interested in hearing about it.

I'm on a Meg. What have other folks done to reduce condensation? How effective has it been for you?

thanks,
