Will aerogel particles jam the thrusters and valves?

We are doing some tests to find out. We rather doubt it, and it probably doesnt matter if they do,because the aerogel is porous (cant clog up the thrusters) and crushes easily (cant jam any valves open enough to matter). But we have to be sure. There are plenty of other issues with the aerogel.
