: What Bill said. I've used HDPE rub strips on the bottom of
: dinghies, and they work great.

Btw, another use for the stuff, I take old cutting boards and cut them up into small pieces on the bandsaw and use them for glue blocks, not even epoxy bonds well to this stuff. Some have small holes drilled in them so I can use a waxed drywall screw thru the hole to hold things like strips that don't want to stay put in place till the glue dries.
