G'Day Doug' Richard and Paddlewise,

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions - Looks as if I'll be hanging around
building suppliers for a while, searching for the mysterious Denzo tape - it
sounds like the material I'm looking for, just need to translate it into
Australian:~)

Richard - My experience with duct tape is that it doesn't stick to wet
fibreglass. I'm looking for a quick on the water repair when paddling along
non landable stretches.

Doug' I'm guessing you mean polythene kayaks! :~) Last trip we had three
minor boat casualties - perhaps the wisest words you will hear on Paddlewise
this week - don't try to sail through gauntlets! :~)

All the best, PeterO
