Hi Matt,

I have two questions:

-1; if I touch some adjacent parts of the TPU coated fabric with my iron while ironninng the seam strips for tube to tube attachment, or generally if I unperposelly touch some TPU with my iron and that it leaves a mark, suggesting that the TPU is affected, should I systematically apply some Aquaseal, or any type of glue to prevent a probable leak?

-2; if I iron for too long, in my case, when I attached a tube to my V3 floor, I ironned for two long and the bottom part of the floor (the one in contact with the water) has some spots where the TPU is a liltle bit melted (but still covering the nylon I think), again, should sytematicaly seal these spots to prevent possible leaks?

Thanks!

Matt,
Do you have any experience repairing holes in kokopelli packrafts (the nirvana, specifically)? I have some leftover fabric from my Telkwa and a friend has a Nirvana that leaks along the seam underneath an old patch that someone else applied. I’m thinking the heat sealing technique is probably more permanent than glue patches, and I’ve read that kokopelli uses TPU. Just wondering if it’s a good/bad idea before I take a heat iron to a friend’s boat.

For those that want to use glue for punctures, I use Helaplast, a PVC glue, I don’t know the name on USA, but I know it exists because I saw a YouTube Video using a PVC glue that is similar. It is not for small punctures (Aquaseal is better), but to apply a large piece of TPU it holds extremely well. I use it to add tie downs because it is at least for me much easier than using heat. I even glued none TPU side to TPU side and put whole weight on it (hanging) and the fabrics ripped apart not the glued parts.

I used a product called Toobseal, which is a runny, acrylic based sealant. I put about half a bottle of the 32 oz in through the Boston valve, filled it up and rotated a few times. It found the leak and so far appears to have sealed well. Time will tell if it holds up well. I had previously had a slow leak that I couldn’t find, but figured it out with the toobseal. I think this would mess up a tizip if it came in contact, but this seems like an option for those like me who opted to not get a zipper. It also stains the inside fabric, which doesn’t bother me, but likely would bother others.

Привет, у меня нет планов для нового 140-сантиметрового плота, только для старой версии V2. Большой размер – 130 см. Если вы хотите, вы можете увидеть стоимость доставки, добавив ее в свою корзину и указав свой адрес. Для просмотра стоимости доставки не требуется покупка. благодаря

I was wondering what the big differences between the v2 and v3 patterns are? Something about being easier to assemble (double coated floor material aside)? Something about the floor pan extending further up the stern of the boat? Is there a major difference in cross sections and guide curves of the boat?

Hi Deyan, each new version is improved compared to the older ones, so I do not sell the older inferior ones.

That’s correct. There will be a new ultralight version when the new ultralight fabric arrives later this summer.
