: Hi
: For our moving water play boats, we use bash plates made of epoxy soaked
: matting -- much stronger than the brass, protects a much larger area and
: slides over rocks that metals will stick on. It also weighs more and is
: ugly (or utilitarian looking)in comparison. I don't even notice it
: anymore. Depends on your usage if this is a good option or not.
: best
: don

Don I believe Chuck is going to use brass but I bought regular glass cloth at Walmart in the auto section the other day and they also had glass matt incase anyone wants to try what you did.
