 Re: Which Coating?
UHMW is the best stuff that I have found. Using a different glue to hold it on now and it is working out great.

 Re: Which Coating?
I'd think with all the airboat around here, teflon could be the ticket.

 Re: Which Coating?
What about delrin sheets? They are much cheaper than umhw. They friction coefficient is comparable to teflon and umhw as well. It is also know as acetal. Has anybody used the stuff? I remember seeing one post mention it and that was it.
