Default Delrin rod or PTFE filled delrin

Has anyone ever used the Delrin AF (PTFE filled Delrin) rod for building links?

Well that link doesn't take you right to the page but it will get you to where you can find it.

I used the tube found at the following link to build some links for an mrc recently, plus Adam's shipping is cheap!

It really isn't, but I know it's hard to find delrin rod that isnt in bulk from personal experience, so I thought I would provide the link anyway

I have not used PTFE filled Delrin, I'm assuming you want this because the PTFE (basically the same family as Teflon, PolyTetraFlouroEthylene) since it should slide over rocks better?

Delrin is quite slick to start with. I wonder if adding the teflon would weaken it? I'm guessing it would.
