Hi,

I know nothing about aluminum powder in epoxy with regard to abrasion resistance, but I do know that aluminum metal is one of the stickiest surfaces to drag over rocks. I would do some testing before I concluding that aluminum would be better than plain old colloidal silica for a boat that will be used for white water.

Cheers,

Allan Edie
