Apparently this stuff is so slick, one can move a boat around on its
bottom as if it were on ice. I first heard of it in David Hazen's site
on strip canoe building. He used it in strips on the bottom of a canoe
he built for himself. He got it from the drift boat shop he works in
part-time. They cover the bottoms of their drift boats with it.

bottom as if it were on ice. I first heard of it in David Hazen's site
on strip canoe building. He used it in strips on the bottom of a canoe
he built for himself. He got it from the drift boat shop he works in
