I understand that peeing on such hydrophobic surface would avoid flushing, but the flip side is that it also means a rather dramatic backsplatter :)
Sorry Bill, but due to the properties the boat would sink to the bottom of the lake as all the water under it got out of the way...Quote:

Whether it will hold an egde is a whole different story
if the water doesn't hang around you shouldn't get rust. Only problem would be the very edge since honing would remove the surface texture there.Quote:
