> The Skimmer is made of plastic sheets pulled over a PVC frame the tape is used as an aid untill the builder can cover the seams with the silicone and a pvc cap. Silicone is the correct thing to use here.

The deck is in two pieces, bottom is one piece. I had a leak develope at the joint between the deck halves. I removed the silicone and recaulked making sure the ends were seated in the extrusion.

The boat "works" in the water. Part of maintence on this design is tending to the joints and screws.

Rocks, bricks, clamps ect. are not conpatable with this building method.
