I just bought a pound of the stuff

In Response To: Re: very WHITE bottom? (Robert N Pruden)

I didn't want to take a chance on particle size so I purchased the 70nm size. If anyone wants to buy some from me who lives in Canada once I get this trial out of the way, I am sure that I will have lots to offer. A pound of fine powder can go a long way, assuming the stuff doesn't weight a ton.

I'll try to get it on the VJ before the river freezes up and ram her up on the rocks to test it. Not that I don't already do that anyway. Might as well emphasize it again. I love stating the obvious.

I would prefer to do this trial using cabosil as well since that is my usual modus operandi for coating the hull. I know this will somewhat bias the test but if the white stuff holds out as well as the black with the cabosil, then I think it should be safe to say that they are both equally good for hull coatings.
