In Response To: Re: Graphite powder hull coat (mike allen --->)

: How interesting, is it a common usage here? Would you put it only in the
: surface layers? Would it work best in conjunction w/ an o/s coat of carbon
: fibre? Like line the skeg trunk w/ graphite, or the skeg or both. Carbon
: fibre for wear points? Will it weaken the layup?

If its a truly effective procedure, then there maybe some way to play games w/ it. There have been many posts about staining, but what about either drawing or drawing and shading using epoxy mixed w/ graphite on say the last coat? Then you would get the benefits of sliding as well as a design on a background of cedar strips. Is the graphite a dust or a liquid?
