How to build a life size Play-dough boat.?
I Need to build a boat that will support three men and 600 pounds. It will be propelled by paddle. Any tips on boat building and working with play-dough on a large scale would also be appreciated!
LOL I hope you are kidding …
That would be an intense design challenge though. A boat floats, because the fluid in which it is floating offsets the downward pull of gravity and hence pushes it up. You’d have to make a scale model and go from there, playdough is fairly dense AND expensive, plus it would require exensive reenforcing and a way to bond it for long term use..
