: Hi Guys

: Below is a picture of the black bottom stuff I put on a last week: 3 pumps of
: epoxy (west), two heaping tablespoons of carbon, and one heaping table
: spoon of the thickiner (called caboxil??) A single coat got good coverage,
: but I need a thicker layup for better scrape protection... I'll get to
: that later in the summer. Hopefully this is enough to help, the epoxy
: alone (although with no varnish) just was not good enough.

: Also this link: http://members.shaw.ca/myrlin/varnished01.jpg will show you
: the deck after vanish... please don't mind the clutter in my basement. The
: next big project is the clean up.

: have a good day

Nice job! I put a graphite bottom on my Bob's special canoe plus 3/4" keel and it is still going strong since 1996. I believe you have plenty of protection, that stuff is really tough, plus you do not have to varnish it.

The shop looks great, that is what I am striving for with my almost unusable garage at this point, it is like a maze, only a couple of ways out or in.
