: I've done a couple of kayaks with black graphite-coated hulls. Done
: well and polished, it looks like black paint or gelcoat.

: I'm still trying to get the formula right on the white graphite

Hey Dan. I have done two kayaks now using the white graphite and it clumps every time. I am tempted to take an egg beater to it next time I use the stuff. The VJ has had her hull coated white for a few years now and despite the clumping, the white graphite is holding up really well, except where I did not completely sand off any of the old black graphite coating. I will be working on the S&G Night Heron soon. Started paddling it two years ago but have never finished it. Gonna do a mix of white and black graphite. Guinness logo combined with the words "Time for a Guinness" on the bottom. Been wanting to do that for years...here's where I get my change.
