Hello,

I like this thread. I'm about to glass the deck of my boat and have been wanting to add a graphic of some sort. I admire the use of "just" carbon. Carbon is a profound substance. Organic molecules need carbon to exist. No carbon, no natural hull materials. Diamonds are pure carbon. Even diamonds made with peanut butter, pressure and heat are pure carbon. Laminating with carbon fiber is sometimes second only to kevlar. I'll just grab some 2B or 3B lead pencils and flourish my deck. Ricci
