That was a perfect solution, Dwayne. Thank you.

Mine will only go onto the valve threads 1/2 turn at best.

I’ve sealed nine of ten tube pieces to the floor. As I lay the tenth and final piece, I notice that it’s about a quarter-inch longer than the available space.

What do I do?

• Move the edges of the tube piece and the floor closer together, thus decreasing the width of the joint overlap
• Overlap the tube pieces 1/8 inch each
• Trim the edges of the tube piece so everything fits together nicely, in theory

I just started assembling my packraft. (I really know how to have fun on a Friday night!)

I was so excited to get everything all lined up perfectly that I accidentally forgot the rule “2 cm left unsealed at each end of tube-floor joint (for now).”

So a couple of tube ends are sealed. Is this going to really mess things up down the road? How can I recover from this?
