Gluphite: Make A Key Chain Pencil

Step 4: Other Possibilities

While not super strong, the gluphite has unusual qualities.

It is very smooth and slippery because of the lubrication graphite and could be used for small light duty mechanical bearings or sliding surfaces.

It could be used for making small cast parts.

It is conductive and the mix works well as a conductive glue.

The white glue can also be mixed with corn starch or fine sawdust instead of graphite to create a hard carvable plastic that can be colored with oil or acrylic paints.
