Hi.

You should use Coton-240 whit the seam sealer glue to speed up things. Correct use with Coton-240 and seam grip sealer glue would cure in 2 houres.

Hi. I have made packraft from extremtextil’s fabric. Sealing was no problem, more heat from the sealing iron is the answer. Did use 210 D tpu dobbel side for floor and singel side tpu 210 D for tubes.

Hi guys, living in the northen part of Norway. Placed order with Matt couple of days ago and waiting to start with the packraft in near future. Stefan..did you got the fabric from textilextreme, how was it to bond??

In that way I could let the bau or the stern be left open for bonding as last thing to do, and then starting to bond both tube side on left or right to the floor, working one side complete finished before bonding the other side, ending…[Read more]
