: Thanks, I'll probably pick up some graphite and play around a little before I
: actually do it on the boat. When using graphite, does each have to go on
: when the prior coat is still tacky, or can you do it within the standard
: 48 to 72 hours like when applying coats of straight epoxy? Also, is it
: necessary to mix silica in along with the graphite and epoxy, or will
: graphite alone be sufficient? Thanks again for all the responses.

The graphite makes it slippery the silica makes it more damage resistant, ie: hard.

Only need a little silica vs. graphite.
