Hi Dan,

I'll be very interested in how this works. I've always worried that the graphite (I prefer black) mixture would be too thick for the skin and with the flexing that it would crack so havn't tried it. Will be looking forward to hearing how this works. Would seem to be the ideal with the Dacron/glass cover.
