If the body (shell) is paper or cardboard, fasten it together and soak it with thin CA, letting it soak into the fibers. Probably best done **Before you install electronics** and don't glue the deck on with it or you'll never get it off. Anyway, that'll give you a stronger and much more waterproofed hull.

Sorry dude, "CA" is short for "cyanoacrylate". Although, to some people it's also commonly known as "super" or "crazy" glue.
I like Pacer's "ZAP" line of CA products. (Check your Local Hobby Shops) And for making a paper composite like I mentioned, I would suggest the straight "ZAP CA" as it's super thin and flows really well. The paper soaks it up wonderfully because it's like thinner than water.
I'd also reccomend only soaking about half the hull or deck at a time with CA so you've got a dry place to handle it, as it would be very easy to get both it and yourself stuck to, well, everything else.

Oh, and can we get the pattern for your hull?

sure, you can get the pattern for it ill post it soon. it's really on 2 pages, but 2 show you where to fold and cut and stuff, itll take 4 pages, and you'll have to glue some pages together. for wen i do post it, dashed lines= fold away from you, dotted lines= fold towards you, and solid line=cut.

if you want the design for it, email me telling me wich one you want, and i'll email you the design on about 4 sheets of paper. youll have to print it out, glue the pages together, make the boat, and waterproof it yourself, though. o, and it WILL be in color.
