Epoxy: Graphite powder
By:Pedro Almeida

I'm thinking of coating the floor of the cockpit area with a mix of epoxy/colloidal silica/graphite powder. Questions: Will it provide abrasion resistance? Will the graphite powder come off and stain any equipment that's in the cockpit? Would it be a better idea to just use epoxy and colloidal silica?

Thanks in advance,

Pedro Almeida
