Duct Tape Kayak

Step 4Duct Tape!

Duct Tape!
In order to make the entire "skin" out of duct tape, a minimum of 2 layers are needed. The first layer (as shown in Picture 1) is applied sticky-side-up, with each strip of duct tape overlapping halfway onto the last. Be careful when you are doing corners and angled edges and take your time so that you dont get ugly ripples. Once the first layer is applied, cover it with a second layer of tape (see Picture 4). This time, apply it sticky-side-down.

Additional layers can be added to increase strength and waterproof-ness, but at this point you're finished with the "skin" of the kayak.
