Peter, you really should acquire some good duct tape; according to the US Department of Homeland Security, duct tape's 1001 uses include sealing off your home in the event of chemical attack. Hmmm, I'll have to try that next time I'm fiberglassing in the basement. Family will love me for that, though, I might expire. :-) Seriously, if anyone would like an article on Duct Tape sent to them, just e-mail me back channel. Lee valley had a recent publication on Duct tape facts (not available on-line, though). I currently have some duct tape on my Nordkapp, which is a sure sign it's time for a full rebuild. Or, I could just wrap 10 rolls of tape around the hull/deck. That would be strong. Or just by a plastic kayak.
