: The basic reason to use graphite in the mix its to avoid the obstacle
: gripping thus minimizing the contact (maybe lubricity isnt the right word,
: then my bad) so the more you improve that the better is the performance of
: that part of the mix, of how much... who knows... another test panel
: coming up i guess: just silica.

: Then embedding something hard in a soft compound, silica and resin, its the
: best way to offer a durable surface, even more that just an hard shell
: (there are even examples in nature about that)

Btw, I've got one boat with a graphite/silica/resin coating that's survived a year of very rough use with very minor scratching. Just wondering if the new white stuff will be as damage resistant. Guessing I'll have to find a donor boat with a white hull to try it on myself.
