(probably a stupid question, but just doesn't look like it would float very well)

I heard a guy, I think it was on DHC, saying (well I read it, but you know what I mean) that you could get pictures of ducks printed on the stuff at a sign shop. Might be something worth looking into

Corrugated plastic is more durable than 1/4 plywood. I have a damn near unlimited supply of Corruplast for free. I've been doing snow goose silos for a while now and need a break.

Last year they were bombing in running the buffies out of my buffie dekes, but this year they were back to their skeptical selves again.

I'm going to try using dowels instead of hardware for mine. I'll let you know if it works.
