Ohh boy .. this exact thing just happened to me also …. Loud pop and the light went out on the iron .
Now the iron will get hot just not hot enough to weld a seam . Just started baffle C so I’d only used it for about an hour .
mom wondering if there’s an easy fix these you found Tuk ? -

New Type of Airtight Zipper
I have just received a new shipment of airtight/waterproof zippers from TIZIP, and this time I ordered some MasterSeal 10 zippers in addition to the […]-
Do you have any instructions for using the Masterseal instead of the Superseal. I have two Masterseals lying around from another project. I don’t need one of them and would like to use it for my Telkwa, maybe as seen in a customer build in the center of the rear seam.
-
I haven’t made specific instructions yet, but you can either install it the same way as a SuperSeal or you can iron it directly to the tube fabric from the “inside” side of the tube. You will be on your own if you want to install it in a seam, at least for the time being, as I haven’t done that yet myself.

Sorry, I don’t know anything about that. Maybe ask Kipara?

These zippers cannot be shortened like a regular zipper, they have to be ordered in the desired length from the factory.
-
This is great. I could see these zippers being very nice for bow bags and ultralight builds. I was hoping Matt could offer a few master seals in a couple of different lengths.

Personally, I am only skilled enough for class 2 whitewater, but skilled paddlers have used DIY packrafts in class 4 rivers. More on this here: https://www.diypackraft.com/faq/whitewater-capabilities-of-diy-packrafts/

Matt (Admin) replied to the topic Ultrlight Raft experience in the forum DIY Packrafts 1 year, 9 months ago
I’m not sure what kind of scenarios you’re envisioning, so I’ll start with a caution for anyone who reads this: I strongly advise against paddling any packraft (or any other boat) in woody rivers, not because sticks might puncture them but because of the risk of drowning while being pinned underwater by a sweeper or strainer. If a person can see…[Read more]

I am an ultralight backpacker, and really like the idea of adding paddling to my trips. I saw that the ultralight is great for open water and gentle rapids. I was wondering how it handles sticks and logs. There is one riverside campsite that I would like to paddle to, but im not sure about the robustness of the lightweight fabric.
Also, if you…[Read more]
