IF IT IS VIABLE WITH THIS DESIGN, you could use sheer clamps where you can (where the corners are sharp enough), this will hold everything together nicely while you tape the rest.

If the design allows it (most do), consider using sheer clamps in just the ends and taping the cockpit.

Taping the interior joint is THE crappiest part of building any kayak. If anyone actually enjoys it they've been breathing too many fumes.
