No paddler with a wood kayak or canoe should leave home without it! Discovery TV channel have done some interesting things with duct tape, including building a working, 2-man sailboat and lifting a car.
I was unable to get hold of my favorite double-sided outdoor carpet tape so I used duct tape to make my last sail from a tarp. I rolled it with the adhesive outside (dah) and used the tube like double-sided tape: it worked! |
no flex would be ideal but I would allow for it anyway and design to compensate
when I design something I ask what will go wrong then assume it will and make allowances for it
