You can also get sheet duct tape, rather than a roll of duct tape. Won some in a raffle at a symposium once, hand labeled "SOF Repair Kit." I liked the home-made description the best.

: Hi Everyone-

: Earlier this week I posted a link to Brian Schulz's Cape Falcon
: Kayaks F1 design. Today he posted a new page about repairing a
: hole in the kayak's skin. If you paddle a skin-on-frame kayak
: you should probably see this, and if you don't already have the
: tools in your emergency kit you could add them pretty cheaply.

: On the subject of emergency kits- everyone should carry one, not
: just SOF owners. You may never need it, but a friend of mine in
: a high-end commercial composite kayak was saved last spring
: after dropping her kayak while taking it off from the car and
: cracking it by a friend paddling a SOF who happened to have duct
: tape in her repair kit. In this case she would have just missed
: a nice paddle, but better safe than sorry...
