: Thanks Myrl, sounds like the perfect solution. Is the 2 spoons of carbon
: ratio to get a consistant color or to optimize the hard/smooth properties?
: I wonder if they have carbon in a genuine imitation simulated woodgrain
: flavor?

http://tomangelakis.tripod.com/graphite.htm here is the site that pushed me over the edge to use it.

The carboxil (glass powdwr?) is important to allow for a thick application.

Pls note I still intend to put another coat on.

also there are bad side effects.. it makes seeing glass delamination, harder.
it has been discused on the board in the past. I wish I had more test time with it prior to recommending it.

you can get it in any colour you like, as long as you like black :-)

Oh, it is rough right now, a bit bumpy, I still need to sand it to make ot smooth, rumour has it it is not an easy task.

i'll be away for several day... good luck

Myrl
