: I am thinking about finishing my Arctic Tern 14 by painting the entire hull
: black and wrapping the paint up to cover the first deck panel above the
: sheer. Since it will be black anyway, I was thinking of using epoxy and
: graphite below the water line for some extra protection. I have not used
: an epoxy graphite mix, so any recommendations on how to do it would be
: appreciated. Is it necessary to mix in silica as well. Also, is there a
: white graphite instead of black? Thanks.

There is a "white graphite", it's called HBN. If you search the KBBB archives over just the past year or so you should find it. Dan from CSFW & Robert N Pruden have the most info on it, I believe....
