At the Delmarva Paddler's Retreat, someone mentioned that a graphite paddle
could be hand-made by making a Greenland stick out of either balsa wood or
foam, then coating it with graphite.  [This gives the impression that heat is
not needed.]





Question:  Where do you find graphite in a liquid form, such it can be applied
like a paint or a resin?  If I can get a particular product name, I should be
able to contact the manufacturer to find out how to work with it.
