    Re: Graphene

    My full time job has begun doing some product development with graphene. I don't know much yet, but I do know it is VERY expensive.

    These companies are moving in the opposite direction to get any of my business.

    I do not need (or want) something to last X amount of years. Especially when it has to be maintained in the same way (but with greater expense) as conventional sealants/waxes/hybrids.

    I like (love) my bi-yearly routine of applying my LSP, and call me whatever you will........ But my 476 costs about $22 for 9 ounces which will easily last well over a decade. Not hundreds of dollars for something that will coat one car and the leftovers will not keep.

    Sorry, chemists..........
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    Very expensive...indeed!
    I’ve seen it selling at $200 a gram.

    •Let’s see...
    [and relying on what memory I have
    left of the old CBD conversion chart ]:
    -There are 28.35 grams in an ounce
    -28.35 X $200 = $5,670 per ounce


    •For the ’formulators/blenders’:
    -Being that Graphene is only one atom of carbon
    “thick”, it’s considered as being two-dimensional.
    -With that in mind: Graphene only costs around
    $542,000 per “cubic” meter.


    Will that be Cash, or Credit Card?

    Good way to save some money, Bob...scratch your paint with a #2 pencil.
