I'll second that.

Our daughters school (she’s in the 6th grade) had cardboard boat races this year.
We donated the tape for her team.
Told them to build the boat with the Gorilla Tape and to cover it with the cheap stuff.
Theirs didn’t sink either. In fact, I think one of the other girls took it home to their pool and beat on it for a few days before the cheap stuff leaked and the cardboard failed.
Awesome stuff.

As for the Gorilla Glue. Make sure to moisten the wood as directed. When dry, the wood will fail long before the glue joint.
