: Thanks for all the hard work on this. It's very enlightening. I wonder how
: gel coat would compare.

: I have a question about graphite. Can the white graphite/epoxy mix be tinted
: another color? Does the graphite need anything over it to protect from UV?

Hi Bryan,

Gelcoat in comparison at least to the graphite I've used is very soft, not abrasion resistant at all, likely similiar single part varnishes. It's very high in pigment which doesn't help with it's abrasion resistance. On the upside the color goes all the way thru it so scratches are not a different color.
