hello everybody....
a while ago george cushing,as well as others, had an interesting discussion on the use of fiberglass drywall tape. well, i went forward and purchased the widest roll i could find. (2 3/8") i've doubled and tripled it up along the seams and it has turned out far better than expected. there are areas where the tape would not conform to the hull shape easily, so heated it up with my heat gun i use on hockey blades. this heating made the tape very plyable, i would shape it to the desired shape and let it cool. also, an added bonus, it is self adhesive, making it a breeze to work with. the only set back i can see so far is that the tape is blue and is still quite visible when wetted out. not a big deal to me because i was planning on painting that part of my kayak anyway. i've got great pictures on my digital camera and posted them on photo point.com; but, due to my ineptitude i'm unable to follow the simple instructions and post them here. how do i "paste" the address when the kbbs is in a diffent application. i've tried to keep both open and running at the same time thinking i'll just move the address over. this too has failed because i'm only able to run one window at time. ahhhh....to heck with it.
does any see how useing this tape could be a problem in the future?
