No, but it sounds plausible. Concentrated chlorine would probably affect
Rhino or Line-X to some degree. Find out from the Rhino folks what the
reaction is and whether just covering it with another coat is the wisest
choice (rather than peeling it off and spraying a new coat).

Subject: DML: Rhino-Liner
I've got a problem with my Rhino-Liner.
First, the truck is only two months old, had the liner installed the first
week I had it. I have not yet had to use the truck for hauling anything but
my butt.
July 2, when I drove home from the pool supply store, one of the Chlorine
containers fell over and leaked onto the liner. My first thought was " Oh
Sh**", but then I remembered the liner. So I hosed the bed down with water,
didn't think much about it. After all, I have a Rhino-Liner, nothing can
destroy it!
I don't know if that was a mistake or not, but now everytime the bed gets
wet, the liner turns white everywhere the Chlorine was. Also, the liner is
softer in those areas. Let the bed dry out, and you can barely see
anything, but the next time it gets wet, the white streaks re-appear.
I took it back to Rhino, and they said to leave the tarp off, and when it
thouroughly dries out, to where it's not soft anymore, they'll re-spray the
floor.
Anyone ever heard of anything like this before?
