There is some discussion going on about using Tyvek for sails in
rec.boats.building, and it seems that the most common method for securing
Tyvek is to use the tape for that purpose that homecenters sell. Apparently it
bonds to Tyvek extremely well. I don't know if it would work well
Tyvek-to-other plastic, but it's probably going to be better than carpet tape.
By the way, there are apparently two or more Tyvek products on the market. One
is woven and the other not. One passes water, the other does not. Sorry, I
don't know which is which :).
