S&G: graphite bottom finish
By:Randy Knauff

I would like to add graphite to my final coat of epoxy on the bottom of my kayak.
How can I get a very smooth finish (sanded) to match the rest of the hull and still have a shiny black finish?
Have any of you had experience with whether it really protects the hull bottom much better than clear epoxy?
Thanks
Randy
