Epoxy and graphite is the classic coat for rudders and centerboards, low-load, low-speed bearing surfaces, and the bottoms of racing boats that are dry sailed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow much to add\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdd about 10% by volume, roughly 1½ tablespoons per 8 fl oz of mixed epoxy. One 12 oz can modifies about one gallon of mixed epoxy. The coating cures black. It is not an antifouling: a boat that stays in the water still needs bottom paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine graphite powder, 80 to 100% carbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e423: 12 oz (340 g) can\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCures black; low friction and scuff resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot an antifouling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor West System 105 resin with any 200-series hardener\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a hard, abrasion-resistant coat that cures metallic gray, see \u003ca href=\"\/products\/west-system-420-aluminum-powder\"\u003e420 Aluminum Powder\u003c\/a\u003e; for moisture exclusion on a fiberglass hull, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/west-system-422-barrier-coat-additive\"\u003e422 Barrier Coat Additive\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"West System","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67756310266158,"sku":"SWES-423","price":39.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0840\/4071\/2494\/files\/bs-ws4-423-423.jpg?v=1792276000","url":"https:\/\/boatsuppliers.com\/products\/west-system-423-graphite-powder","provider":"Boat Suppliers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
