dag islands ? aren't they just off the coast of Florida?

They could be yours if the price is right

If you have graphite dust / -flour you can mix it with wood glue and paint it with a paint brush on the right areas.
That advice came from my physics teacher in the 70s and it worked very well!
Please clean areas in question before.
