From the respective descriptions I have heard, Durabak is quite 
different from Lava Liner. When I discussed it with the guy who sells it 
in CO, he said he had abused it heavily, "spinning tractor tire with 
chains" if I remember correctly, and it stood up. Lava Liner from 
descriptions I've heard here is goopier and never gets really hard.

I'm looking at Line-X - it is applied as a hot fine spray that quickly 
dries more firmly than Rhino, without the toxic chemicals. That appeals 
to me since myself, the S.O., the dogs, and (hopefully soon) the yaks 
will be sitting, laying on it, etc. I got a an excellent lengthy tech 
comparison from Brooks Laster at Line-X. Anyone interested can email me. 
BTW, the Mendicino County Line-X guy said to use DPG-40 as the prep 
primer. For my "el nino-mobile" (will never have a top on it), I was 
going to use Line-X in the passenger areas and Durabak on the hidden and 
underbody parts.
