    Has anyone used the Rhino type polyurethane coating (used to line the beds of trucks) on steel decks or soles? I have heard that the military has started using them.

    Sorry. I was not paying attention. I have also posted on other news groups. I will let you know if I hear anything. The firms that supply the numerous similar products do not seem too responsive either.

    I am sorry but you have it backwards. The military has been using this for YEARS on the weatherdecks of ships. Some brilliant entrepenuer decided to market it to "civilian" use. I think that person made a few buck$. Go to a local Navy base and request a tour of any ship. You will see it as soon as you board.

    Oh, and by the way, fighter jets land on this stuff at 150 kts!!!
