Material: fiberglass seam tape

I used 4" fiberglass tape from clcboats on my last kayak. I think it was 9 or 10 oz.

When I was finished it seamed like an over kill to use such a thick tape. All the edges had to be sanded smooth because it left a nice size lip.

What should be used for seaming your kayak together?
