with the new nets on the market being coated if you look at them, it just looks like a rubberized coating on them. im wondering if one was to buy a can of the rubberized undercoating availible at auto stores and sprayed their old net bag with it, if it would serve the same purpose??? anyone ever try this?

That wouldn't be a good idea, the stuff my Frabill is coated with is flexible, hard, and not sticky a bit. I don't know a single can on the shelf that will do that for you.

rubberized undercoating. it drys hard (not sitcky), looks like it would be flexable. im going to try it on an old net bag.

I tried it, don't do it.
When I got my new Frabill, I took an old soft net that I had and used a rubberized spray that we use for tool handles at work. It works good on tools, but it sucked on the net. It was hard to cover and it dried stiff as a board in the areas where it did coat it.
It's not worth the time and effort when you have professionals who make them for you.
