I've read about the 20% mix for Graphite Powder but in buying how much should I get 1lb,2lbs? I'm doing an Eno as my first. Thank you.

Let me add to this, if I need a quart of wood flour how many pounds would that be? Thanks again.

you need about 2-3 cups at most. A quart should do you just fine.

A 6 oz can (West Systems 423 Graphite powder) will do, more than plenty.

I just re-finished a 15'8" kayak and added the graphite bottom, and for three coats I used about 6 tablespoons of graphite total (that was a 10% mix, 1 tablespoon per 5 fl oz of epoxy). So 12 tablespoons would be about what your looking at.

A 6 oz can is 4" tall and 3.38" diameter.
