: I'm afraid it's going to leak! Water splashing around inside will be
: embarassing.

If adding a layer of glass will make you feel better, then use the thinnest glass you can find. 6 ounce is WAY too heavy. Look for 2 ounce or lighter. the thickness (despite being very thin) of the cloth will ensure a layer of resin thick enough to seal things completely.

Or, drill a couple of drain holes in the loom. If you place them right you might be able to blow into one to force water out the other. Or, if you add more holes you might use the paddle as a flute and have music while you travel. :)

Just a random thought or two.
