And apparently my tablet is schizophrenic when it comes to posting in a forum and I apologize.

Thank you Bruce, I appreciate your advice. The iron came with the V3 kit I recently purchased on eBay and I’m guessing it’s, at least, unused if not new. TBH I find infrared temp sensors to be iffy at best and I couldn’t get a consistent temperature trend to save my life. I find contact thermocouplings to be considerably more accurate and consistent. So here’s 4000 words worth. I think my iron is fracked.

Has anyone considered coating the inside lip of the dry bag closure with seamgrip to help minimize air loss?

I’m experimenting with a Ryobi heat gun with tips purchased from Amazon. So far I’m getting more consistent results then with the iron I’m using. This is my first packraft and I have zero experience.

Is anyone else using the hangar 9 iron having problems with inconsistent temperatures? Thanks.

Hello. Recently purchased a V3 kit off of eBay.

Have you considered using a piece of 1/4 or 3/8 pex pipe split lengthwise on one side?
