Pure Graphite Powder Quart

If you're buying a container of graphite powder then you are a special person. You may be using this to lubricate a whole lot of hinges. Maybe you are a pinewood derby car afficianado. Myself, I purchased it to mix with alcohol and coat styrofoam balls and a conductive shell for static electricity demonstrations and experiments. Yes, as a matter of fact I *am* a science teacher!This container is way too much graphite powder for that purpose. If that's why you are using this then I recommend a much smaller amount.I also used this to mix with epoxy and fill cracks in wood knots for a project I'm working on in my workshop. It worked wonderfully for this task. Do not mix the graphite powder at your kitchen counter, though. This is a VERY fine powder that is VERY hard to wipe up and your wife will be VERY mad if you put black streaks all over the countertop. You have been warned.

Works very nice rubbing into a shiny surface to give it the silver metallic look. Good lighting is important to see the effect because in low lighting it may look like its not on. Its a powder that'll get on your hands but surprisingly it doesn't rub off the surface onto you after a finished application. You don't need a clear coat over it because that might dull it. First image is it applied over gloss white and the second image, where im holding it, is what it looks like applied over gloss black. I still have so much left after a couple uses too 🤘

Graphite in epoxy, in addition to making it jet black without any visual texture and increasing opacity by more than any other additive, also happens to act as a reinforcement, and improve thermal transfer through the epoxy. And it is CRAZY CHEAP; that's a huge amount for epoxy usePity graphite also makes an unspeakable mess. Because of the way the stacked sheets of graphite can delaminate, graphite smudges are highly contagious between surfaces - as you touch something, the graphite particles will delaminate, forming more, smaller particles each with nearly as much surface area, and while simple to remove from skin (soap and water, assuming you didn't epoxy it onto yourself), graphite is difficult to impossible to remove from many surfaces without leaving a smudge. It can be lofted into the air and float distances of meters. It will be tracked around on your feet. It's harmless and non-toxic, but unless you force yourself to act like that wasn't the case and use care handling it, you're liable to come out of the studio looking like a coal miner. Removal from clothing is not always possible to the extent needed to use the garment in public in the future.

Actually worked.

This is powdered graphite which is useful to prevent sticking of crucibles in the furnace. You can swipe a small brush in the plastic bottle and then sprinkle the graphite on the surfaces you don't want to stick

It is pure graphic powder, but not the kind I was hoping it to be. There are so many different kinds. This one just wouldn't adhere to regular drawing paper. It would probably do better on a different kind of drawing paper. My paper was too smooth and it wouldn't adhere to the paper and you could almost blow it away after applying it, thus you can't blend with graphic powder if it won't adhere to the paper, so I don't know if this graphic powder is okay or not? Just don't buy this kind if you are expecting it to blend in with drawing paper that is too sooth.

Woks reat and as intended

great stuff for lubing
