Chesapeake Light Craft's shop notes discusses adding graphite to the epoxy used to finish the bottom of the boat. The Notes indicate it creates a tough scratch resistant, low friction surface.

Anyone have any experience with adding graphite to the epoxy finish? ,,, (o o) ==================oOO--(_)--OOo========================== Bob Washburn whiterabbit_at_iw.edwpub.com or rwashbu_at_siue.edu The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth. ========================================================= *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Sun Nov 08 1998 - 16:21:23 PST
