TRESPA board for bunk slides

[Surfin' Elvis]

I have a few pieces of TRESPA board. It is described on the company website as being made from a phenolic epoxy and used as siding, decking, and for laboratory countertops.
Has anyone ever used this material for bunk slides? Wondering if it is comparable to Azek for slides, or if it is too hard of a material.
The boards I have are 4” wide and 1” thick. I planned to rip 1/8” deep channels down the length of the boards.
I have a 15’ Scout center console. Trailer currently has 8’ long carpeted bunk boards.

Being a mechanic for over 30 years I've dealt with a lot of phenolic epoxy. Auto manufactures use it to make disc brake caliper piston's might be a little different blend then the boards, not sure. If it is the same stuff it is not a good idea to use for boat trailer bunks, for the phenolic epoxy I dealt with is very brittle and could break very easy. Bad idea even for brake caliper piston's has caused a lot of brake failures. Would like to know if you do use it for the bunks, and how it's holding up. Happy boating and good luck.

Thank you, beerman. I will find some other use for those boards and stick with Azek for skids.
