Looking to get the bed line-X’d and when I called the local shop they said it would be 3-4 weeks due to material shortage. Anyone else running into this? I’m in central NC.

Same here - on a wait list. Polyurethane shortages are creating challenges for all industries.

I ran into the same thing with the Raleigh Line-X. Bullet liner isn't having this issue. Anyone have a bullet liner?

Well, here's your answer.


"What is Propylene Oxide? Propylene Oxide is an organic bulk chemical, produced by several technologies and used in a large variety of products across multiple industries. Building and construction is the largest end user but it is also used, amongst others, in textile and furniture, automotive, electronics and packaging.
What is causing the shortage? A number of factors including increased worldwide demand, supplies impacted by COVID-19 and the recent freeze in Texas (where a large proportion of worldwide Propylene Oxide is located)."

Call around to places that aren't affiliated with the big chains. I just called the place in town that did my Colorado and they are booking appointments 3 days out and he said he bought a bunch of material in advance of the shortages.

I went to my dealer who uses a local Linex shop. The Linex shop nearest me had a 4 week wait and wanted to charge me $150 more for the same thing I got from my dealer. Dealer was able to discount.

I waited about a month and finally just got it done last week. Was worth the wait.

I work with the base chemicals that are in these coatings. Most of the shortages are because of the bad weather in Texas and the subsequent power outages. A lot of these chemicals are made in Texas. Gonna be a while before they’re back to 100% production volume.

Bullet liner is made by the original designers of Line-x. (I've been told) From my understanding, they sold the original formula and developed a better one called bullet liner. I have it in my gladiator.... it looks the same to me just with a different logo. No issues after a year

I have bullet liner as well. I'm happy with it and I pretty much throw anything in there.

Are there any other brands out there?
Bullet
Line-X
Rhino

(I've done the 'at home' type and they look good for a couple years and then they fade and chip).
