Duct tape boat? Anyone see Mythbusters segment?

Post by richg99 »

A current Mythbusters segment reviews many ways that duct tape works ( and doesn't work). They patched a big hole in a small boat with it and it held up for some time. Then, they tried to patch a hole while in the water. That didn't work out so well.

As a final act...they welded together a wire frame; coated it completely with rolls and rolls of duct tape; made both a sail and a keel out of duct tape....and sailed away. Pretty neat shape to the boat. Looked like something I'd like to have in fiberglass.

They re-run many of the Mythbuster segments...so...if you missed it...and see a listing on Duct Tape...you might enjoy watching this one. The boat segment is near the end of the show. regards, Rich
