Tyvek tape
Also: Tyvek
Tyvek tape is a construction tape that many packrafters stick on the outside of the tube as a quick field repair.
Luc Mehl describes it as hard to remove once it has cured. Alpacka warns that Tyvek can bond permanently to the boat if left on too long and advises removing emergency repairs at home and repairing properly. It sticks poorly to wet surfaces.
