Sorry for the missed replies, it seems the e-mail notices went straight to my junk folder. It’s fixed now.
If anyone wants a valve or a few, I can be contacted at gabriel.couet@gmail.com (there you go web scrapers, have a field day with my e-mail, lol)

Matt (Admin) replied to the topic Heat Iron Exploded! (Anyone has one in Germany?) in the forum DIY Packrafts 2 years, 5 months ago
Yikes, that could have ended badly!
I’m not aware of any time limitations for the irons – I have left my irons plugged in for much longer than two hours without any sign of problems, and I haven’t heard of anyone else having this problem either, so I think maybe you were unlucky and received a bad iron. It’s unfortunate that it takes so long to…[Read more]

Haha, that’s great! This project really does appeal to a certain type of person – there’s surely another type that ends up shelving it unfinished, but those people don’t tell me about it so it’s hard to know how many there are. It is pretty gratifying to see the “repeat offenders” though!
I think you’re right that the Anfibio self-bailing tube…[Read more]

Tuk started the topic Heat Iron Exploded! (Anyone has one in Germany?) in the forum DIY Packrafts 2 years, 6 months ago
So I was making good progress ironing the first tube yesterday, when I noticed something warm on on my elbow. I looked and it was thick, gray smoke coming from the back end of the leather iron. I quickly threw it onto a plate I have on the floor for putting the hot iron on and immediately after a loud pop sounded with a spark coming from the iron.…[Read more]

Finally, the first fabric shipment is here! That’s the good news.
The bad news is that there isn’t enough fabric here to fulfill all of the pre-orders (or any new orders), and due t […]

This DIY project really attracts a certain type of person… so many pics say “Finished my first boat” indicating that they loved the project and plan to do more!! I’m the same, and all my friends are asking about how to make their own. Luc Mehl, the alaskan packraft Guru, even gave approval of my boat “bubbles” when I took his swift water rescue…[Read more]

Not officially, but you could use some of the scrap fabric that is included in the kit to do that.
I think it would be okay, but I don’t have a dog, so I’m not really sure… maybe take a look at the fabric comparison video or order a fabric sample pack so you can decide.
