In Response To: Epoxy: Graphite powder (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

The bottom of my Greenlander is coated with that mixture and once set it doesn't come off nor color anything. Sanding it creates a mess, but using it doesn't. Does resist abrasion well.
