Where does everyone get their graphite powder? I found some extra fine graphite powder at graphitestore.com, will this do and how much do you think would be good for the bottom of a Laker 13(weight please)? Should I worry about contaminants in the graphite?
Thanks

Most epoxy suppliers have it.

With any filler, you want it to be as clean as possible. The site you referenced is ok but they look expensive. I'd go with Duckworks.

The 1Lb can from duckworks will give you enough for plenty of boats.
When I did the bottom of a 15 foot kayak, in the three coats of epoxy/graphite I think I used about about 12 Tablespoons out of a 6oz can, still have plenty left in the can.

Living here in Florida I get mine from Raka since he is here in Florida and it is next day delivery.
