How slick and durable is that stuff? I am curious because I have three large dogs. They don't do well riding on slick stuff. They also tend to tear up stuff with their claws.
Thanks,

The Durabak/Herculiner (same thing, different name) has dried pretty hard yet maintained a rubbery, textured finish.
If my Great Dane was still alive I could honestly tell you how well it holds up to dogs, but he kicked the bucket some time ago so I cannot respond to that kind of dog wear and tear specifically. He always determined dog durability in a day or two's time; always, always, always. I can't remember much he did not destroy, chew, claw, dig, mangle or disfigure including my wife's beloved cat, who knew better. I suspect the Durabak/Herculiner would have held up better than the seats, seat belts, ceiling liner and whatever else he mangled in my 80 did.
I do know that I keep a lot of junk in the back of my 80, including a tool box that weighs well over 100 pounds, a shovel, a 7 gallon water jug, mtb stuff, kayak stuff, real estate signs etc... After driving around with all of that junk in the back for the last month or more, I have not noticed any visible signs of wear, bubbling or peeling at all.
The water jug still slides some when it has room too, but nowhere near as much as it did on the bare/painted metal, nor any more than it did, in fact less than on the factory carpet.
I would reccomend following the installation/preparation instructions if you choose to use this stuff. I would also reccomend to apply it in the summer time, so it dries faster. The fumes still linger.
