I have a woodworking friend who tests new developments for Lee Valley, and it is very much a Canadian enterprize. Disposable income? Like yeah! You must have built a strip boat Gordin. Those router bits can add up. Too bad there isn't more sharing of equipment amongst paddlers. We are such a disposable consumer-goods society, bying things for one time use so often. As far as duct tape, I carry some with me always, as well as clear packing tape, with the latter being a very good emergency repair necessity that works well in a wet environment and carries in a kayak with less bulk than duct tape. I also carry an epoxy and glass "instant repair" kits which seal better that kits cobbled together yourself.
