Raptor inside Bronco-Toxic off-gassing or total BS?

[mebco09]

So I am working on getting my body back on my frame, but before I do it, I was thinking I would raptor the floor.

I get online, and there is a few threads about how the spray on bedliners can off gas toxic chemicals (not sure which) into the cab, and then you breathe them and get cancer or whatever.

Does anyone know anything about this? OR is it just a bunch of BS started by "Lizard Skin" to get people to buy their water based product?

In my day job, we do a lot of semi-toxic spraying inside of people's houses (swedish finish hardwoods, Lacquer and conversion varnish on woodwork, nasty oil-based paints etc. etc.) and I have never thought twice about that stuff off-gassing, why would a bedliner be worse than that?

Most man-made materials offgas. Even paint. I think as long as it’s properly cured, you should be fine. That new car smell? Off-gassing. New carpet smell? Off-gassing.

It’s probably not great to breath lots of it, but I think the concentrations you’ll typically see with Fully cured Raptor liner is probably fine.

Not Bronco but Raptor. Did my Samurai last summer. Love it but it has a smell when it rains. Being a soft top I do get water inside when it rains. I don't know if it's the old seats or the Raptor. We sprayed my SNL's Tim top Samurai this summer had he has zero leaks. It still has a bit of smell after being closed up for a bit. It has new seat we just installed so she of it might be the seats. Cheap china race seats.

I thought all those warnings are so they can sell it here in California

I bought a metal bracket the other day that had a sticker on it saying it possible had been found to cause cancer in California. I was really confused and assume they are on the verge of banning anything metal there. Possible I guess they were referring to the black paint on it I guess.

I have to believe your Bronco bed liner will not be what you die from, LOL

So I guarantee I read at least 23 of the 78 threads you found on this, and I just want to give you my experience. Not a scientist or an authority on this by any means, but I did BEDLINER and the knockoff Lowe’s FAKE DYNAMAT. Since I doubled up and did both cardinal sins I should be dead by now, but I can honestly say I haven’t even caught so much of a whiff of chemical smell. I don’t run with the hardtop so maybe if it sat in the heat with the top and windows up you would catch a whiff, but I think there’s a thousand other things killing you faster than phantom offgasing - more likely the old school exhaust fumes from your 50 year old v8 are worse!

I'm Raptor lined inside and out, and it has been locked in my garage for 8 years. I'm still here. Don't smell it a bit.

I had my 69EB interior Rhino Lined. No smell either. It did sit open for a while when I completed the truck and I guess it aired out over time. During the wintertime, I have a full soft top and doors installed and it's OK.

You are probably right! Don't tell anybody though, we will have to put warning labels on all of our gas burners....

I did the inside of my old heep and never had any smell that made me think it was off gassing... I did it in the summer and let it cure for a day or 2 put the seats back in than ran the rest of summ with no top than had my soft top for winter by that time it just smelled like pine needles and dirt lol good luck

Ureathanes off gas when they go through the cure cycle. The worst is when it is atomized during spraying. Give it a week to fully cure before you go sleeping in the freshly sprayed truck. I would no expose babies to it after freshly sprayed truck. Read the manufactures SDS on the product.

My Samurai had zero smell today.....only smells when it rains so has to be the original seats. Can't get the Oklahoma off them....LOL
