In Response To: Re: Strip: Graphite bottom (Myrl Tanton)

: I intend to put the graphite on the bottom of my hybrid (plywood hull). based
: on what I saw in a store in Edmonton, it seemed to help alot for
: scratches. However the guy in the shop told me the trade off is you can
: not see the wood, thus you can sustain a blow that will damage the
: fiberglass/wood and not realize how bad it is, because the fiberglas is
: opaque with the carbon in it. However for scratches, he convinced me it
: really helps.

: I'd also apreciate other's experinces with the stuff.

: Myrl
