In Response To: Has anyone seen "GraphWhite"? (Brian Nystrom)

: I have a small amount of this stuff at home. The manufacturer claims (or
: claimed) that it's graphite, but it's white, rather than black. It's a
: powder that was sold as a case-neck lubricant for reloaders. I haven't
: seen it anywhere in years, but if it's still available, it should be ideal
: for boat hulls, as it's slippery, but wouldn't cause heat buildup.

I have used what they call Graphite powder on Derby cars axles, it is white and sold in a 2 oz "puffer" wherever you can buy the boy scout derby car kits. Usually at a surplus shop or if you are lucky you may have a boy scout store near you.
Good luck, Elliott
