: Here is another "wrinkle" for you to ponder: If you are not using
: prepasted paper, you can use the excess wallpaper paste and strips of
: newsprint to concoct paper mache, which you can plaster over your kayak
: frame after it has been wrapped in plastic -- like you did with your saran
: wrap test. After you get a nice thick layer of paper on there, slip it off
: the frame and let it dry thoroughly. You may need to make a slit in the
: paper mache boat to get it off the forms, but that can be repaired simply
: with a few more layers of paper mache. Once the paper is hard and dry,
: lightly sand it and cover it with a layer of fiberglass cloth on the
: inside and outside. You'll have the only paper boat in the neighborhood --
: maybe the only one in the state!

No true about the only boat in this country. I, once see a rolling shell built with thin cross braced wooden frame and skin from brown kraft paper coated with varnish. Don't know the make or model.
If this has been done before, your method is very likely workable.
