Cardboard Boats

Cardboard boats!  Fun for big and little ones alike.  Plus, if one of your nautical vessels should crash, sink, or float away to broader horizons, it isn’t a great loss (more of an opportunity to make some new ones).

Step 1 Supplies/Tools

• ·         Scrap cardboard
• ·         Scrap wax/candles (white is the most see-through)
• ·         Double boiler
• ·         Tape
• ·         Low-temp glue gun
• ·         Scissors
• ·         Xacto knife
• ·         Quarter (not pictured)

Tape and hot glue are interchangeable in this instructable, so I made both kinds of boats.

At what temperature do you double-boil the wax roughly?

Thanks for bringing that up!

Under constant supervision, put your double boiler on low heat. You can always raise the temperature slowly, if need be.

@MrCantThinkOfAName: you really don't need to keep it melted for long. When I was dipping the boats, I had it sitting on a trivet completely off the heat (you can actually see it in step 7 - the trivet is sitting on my ruddy kitchen tiles).

Thanks for the comments! I think I will edit the appropriate steps. :)

I'd probably guess medium to high temp to melt it, and then a low-medium to keep it melted.
