That said, it appears to be the best possibility for sealing leaks. It sticks to everything, is very flexible, and is puncture resistant.

On the other hand, a person with a bit of boatbuilding experience could make a serviceable boat using cardboard and the 8067 tape and expect it to last several years.
That's some useful info on the 8067 flashing tape, and I can't wait until somebody (besides me) tries to build a boat from that and cardboard. I "would" like to be there when they launch it though. ;-)
Don't tempt me ... I've owned and operated boats for almost 50 years, since I was in elementary school, and have built a couple over the years.
In addition to building a house and rebuilding/restoring/customizing a motorhome, I'm currently in the process of building an 18 foot skiff based on Bolger's Diablo Grande design. (Research on that project's electrical system lead to the dissertation on batteries.)
My son works in an appliance store's service department so he could probably get the cardboard from refrigerator/freezer shipping containers.
BTW - Fairbanks, Alaska, hosts an annual Red Green Regatta, in which the entries are required, naturally, to use duct tape as a primary component.
