The other boat is already built but the spruce and glue is coming along nicely. Its really not spruce though its birch, luan, and balsa. When the botton is done and sealed I'll primer it and apply this to the sponson bottom and maybe the turn fin. The bottom will not be painted with gloss paint. It will have a matte finish in primer and the graphite. I guess such ideas are only suitable for old timers this what was passed on to me by a very brilliant one. I like "old timers" they know things..... I have other former world champion friends that would love to see me achieve my goals. And they will give assistance as needed. Ill take that torch thank you very much and go on with it.

423 Graphite Powder is a fine black powder that can be mixed with epoxy to produce a low-friction exterior coating with increased scuff resistance and durability. Epoxy/graphite is commonly used as a low-load, low-speed bearing surface, as a coating on rudders and centerboards, or on the bottoms of racing craft that are dry sailed. It does not provide anti fouling qualities. The epoxy/graphite mixture cures to a black color.
