Has anybody used Carbon or Kevlar tape to tape the seams on a S&G kayak.
Would it make for a stronger joint, any disadvantages.?
Also on some kayaks (i.e. Squeedunk Cormorant) where the keel panels rise up the sides of the kayak at the bow and stern how are theses panels glued to the side panels, as there is no corner to make a fillet in (the keel and side panels butt together rather that meet to form a corner). I was thinking it would be better to apply short lengths of tape between the stitches, remove the stitches and then tape over the length of the seam.
Does this make sense to anyone??
