I can sell a kit without the fabric being scored, but I do not have any Ultralight fabric in stock at this time.

Matt (Admin) replied to the topic Doubeling the width of seam strips? in the forum DIY Packrafts 3 years, 8 months ago
Hi! I’ve increased the seam width in the kits to 30 mm based on customer feedback, but I haven’t tried any wider than that. I think it should be fine to go wider, but only up to a point (because the tubes meet at an angle and the seam strips have to mold to them).
Also, I’m not sure if you’ve been adding seam sealer to the inside of the seams,…[Read more]

Hi Levi – sorry, I don’t currently have any bulk fabric for sale.

Matt (Admin) commented on the post, Current Order Processing Times (updated) 3 years, 8 months ago
I am not 100% sure there will be enough green, so only do that if you will be happy with a yellow kit in case there is not enough green left, or if you don’t mind paying the non-refundable credit card fees in case you want a refund (about 3.5%).

Matt (Admin) commented on the post, Current Order Processing Times (updated) 3 years, 8 months ago
I have a limited supply of green fabric right now because I did not receive more in the recent fabric order. After I catch up on the current orders I will likely have enough green left for a few more packraft kits, and I will make them available to order (probably in 2-3 weeks). I will try to remember to email you then. After that fabric is gone,…[Read more]

Yep, I still recommend it. I’ve stopped selling adhesives because they’re not supposed to go through the mail and they’re not allowed into some countries.

The least stress will be near the tip of the stern, so you could try there. Wherever is convenient should be fine though.

I don’t know what fabric you’re using, but assuming you’ve tested the welds and you’re satisfied they’re strong, then if you’re careful to avoid leaving any gap where the two pieces meet then it should work out fine. You can’t heat seal a fabric patch over Seam Grip though (or to the inside of the tube fabric, for that matter); instead, I would…[Read more]
