Dan, how's the graphite holding up? I have a boat made in one of Bill Hamm's classes, and have considered stripping the (black) paint under the waterline and using graphite, but didn't know how it would react give there's a small amount of flex there compared to a wood core boat.

: Hi Don,
: Lena's "Pink Jaguar" is a year old and there has been
: little to no change in color. It looks brand new. We had it out
: a many times over the summer and store in the garage when it's
: not being used. I've done 4 other boats using the printed
: cotton/polyester with great results. One caveat: I laminate it
: with epoxy that's been stabilized for UV exposure (often used on
: surfboards) and then further protect it with a clear urethane.
: Certain colors also are more prone to fading. Best to take your
: sample and leave it outside in the bright sun for a month or
: tow, or bake it for a week or so with a UV lamp. I have no idea
: how Corey's Goop would protect it.
: Dan
