It seems that Extremtextil get in different lots but list them under the same description. About 5 years ago I got some 70den/170gsm tpu nylon to make a sleeping mat, and it heat welded fine. A couple of months ago I got another lot, listed with the same desription, but it just melted when it should have welded. I assume this is the difference…[Read more]

I bought the one that you reviewed on the site here, the Clover Mini Iron II. It gets the job done, but I’m not in love with it. The hot setting is too hot and burns the nylon. The medium setting works, but I’ve found that it requires a lot of pressure and a going back and forth over the area to get it to seal well enough. I got the narrow tip for…[Read more]

I bought the Trim Sealing Iron Q-Model 606-1 in the first instance. I did not work. The iron simply does not produce enough heat. It was advertised for kite and rc plane decals. Probably it is good for these – for packrafting isn’t.

If you are living in the EU then extremetextil.de might be a good choice.
I first wanted to purchase a complete ultralight kit, but after I did the math I didn’t… Why? In the EU we must pay VAT + customs tax above 150 Euro value. In many western countries the package most likely will not pass the customs. In the Netherlands the amount of tax is…[Read more]
