: You'll be glad to hear that I finally ran my little not-so-scientific
: abrasion test of the hBN. I tested it with 5 other opaque coatings and 6
: clears. In my little test it appears the hBN performed exactly the same as
: the West 423 Graphite. Impressive. It needs full-scale testing to really
: see how it performs in the real world. The next kayak on my build schedule
: will be used as a testbed. I'll also be coating my own Guillemot with it
: for more testing.

: Stay tuned...

Hi Dan,

I love it to see someone doing actual tests :)

Good research, thanks.

Bill H.

: By the way I also tested a few other coatings. 12 total: 6 opaque and 6
: clears. All were marine or commercial in nature (no hardware store
: brands).

: The two-component urethanes (clears and colors) performed much better than
: the single pot paints and varnishes. Not really surprising. The best
: performing clear was actually an automotive urethane (DuPont ChromaPremier
: 72200s with flex additive). Stay away from the waterbornes... Again, not
: surprising.
