In Response To: graphite bottoms (LeeG)

: that's the main reason I wouldnt coat the bottom of a kayak with graphite.

Unless you expose the bottom to sun or heat you'll have no problem.

Even then, the white pocks wouldn't be visible under the graphite coating.
They are not life threating, just cosmetic.
