Rhino type bed liners on boats???
When I used to work with extrusion coating, the cooling rollers we had with
the machine were mirror finish, and the hot plastic would stick to it like crazy. We had them refinished to a matte finish, I think I remember something like a 70 RMS spec. Still felt totally smooth, but just not mirror finish. That's all it took for the plastic to come off very nicely. -- Keith __ Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.

From what I've read some of the speed swimmers are using a type of body suit that mimics a fish's skin, reducing drag. Paul Absolutely right! A little rough actually has less drag. However thats difficult to get..I believe shark skin has that roughness that reduces drag. IF this can be sprayed on it would be a must have Matt "Matt Lang" wrote in message om... wrote in message . ..

Doug s/v Callista I'm talking about the outside, not the inside. Several boaters around here (fresh water) have done so. This Rhino stuff although very tough is very rough .. I would be concerned it increases drag of the boat in the water significantly ... Matt |
