Yes, that's the stuff I'm talking about.  Not the rubbery material, the 
hard 
epoxy.  I've used it to coat battery boxes in road EVs.  

I had it sprayed on by a detailing shop and it worked nicely, so I wanted 
to 
have it applied to the underside of my mower deck a few years back.  But I 
couldn't find anyone to do it.  Most of the shops just said it was too 
small 
a job, not worth their while, and let it go at that.  However, one manager 
told me that setup and cleanup were a substantial part of the time 
involved. 
 They'd also have to open a full 5 gallon (I think it was) can of the 
material; the unusued portion would then go to waste (I wondered if they 
really had to mix the entire can at once, but didn't say anything).  I 
tried 
to convince them to let me "piggyback" onto a truck job, but they wouldn't 
go for it.
