I am building my first two kayaks at once, both Guillemot's. I am doing a lot of things for the first time to make my learning curve as steep and short as possible. I dyed the hull on the first one with a clear wood deck. On the second kayak I plan on using graphite powder for a black black hull and clear deck. I am using West system and West graphite powder. I am not sure where to add the graphite, to the glass coat or fill coats or all coats?? And, the directions on the can call for 1.5 tablespoons per 8 oz. of epoxy, 10 strokes each of epoxy and hardener. To much, to little, just right?? Any do's and dont's will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Randy
