question for the experienced DIYers out there..
Small or big problem?As seen in photo I’m attempting to seal pieces 1-2 together. For some reason piece 2 is waaay off from where it is supposed to be. Previous to this I sealed seam 3 down and it was about 2cm off from where it was supposed to be as well. I couldn’t figure out why it kept coming up short. As you can tell below the problem has compounded itself and I’m not sure where to go from here.. any info would be appreciated.
thanks!

Hello!
Currently building my first V3 raft and couldn’t be more excited! I believe this question was posed before, but I did not completely understand the answer. I recently heat sealed both sides of piece L3 to the floor and am ready to seal L4 down as well. For some reason L3 came up about 1.5cm short of the corner. From what I can gather it’s not a huge problem, but I’m not sure how to allign L4 with L3. Do I place L4 on the predetermined location labeled on the floor and have a 1.5cm gap between pieces? Or do I allign L4 next to L3 so the edges are touching? I feel if I do the latter there will be a countinous gap down the line which may or may not be an issue. If I place L4 in its corresponding place will I need to do something special to make up for the gap? I can post pictures later if need be.
Thanks a ton, I love the idea of DIY rafts. It’s a cool thing you are doing.

Ok, packraft is complete! I’ll post up pictures in a bit. Short Answer, this error I made in construction caused no noticeable difference. I can’t even see any wrinkles on that seam. Turns out I had my iron a tad bit too hot which caused some wrinkling leading to the shorter piece. All I did to fix this was cut the floor to match where the tube was, and it worked out just fine!
