RC, don't know how much friction you need but phenolic has been used to a degree where long term wear is a factor. It is used oftern in encoder friction drive wheels where it lasts for many years. -randy- The worst suggestion of you lifetime may be the catalyst to the grandest idea of the century, never let suggestions go unsaid nor fail to listen to them.
