How to make a cardboard boat float

When Salem waterproof paint & coating company Ames Research Laboratories Inc, challenged the youth ministry at Grace Chapel in Wilsonville, OR to come up with a cardboard vessel that floats they accepted. Two weeks and two coats of Ames waterproof Block and Wall Environmentally Friendly liquid rubber later they floated triumphantly in the Willamette River. Not only did the cardboard boat float with 6 local youth aboard - their attempts to sink the boat proved just as challenging.
