Coming across Matt’s website was one of the best things that happened in 2020. Even though I was in the middle of another lockdown DIY project, after about 5 minutes I knew I just need to make one of these too…
As so many others here noted before, the instructions and a great forum make the construction a pretty straightforward perocess – big thanks Matt! My Skeena took about 35h to make, and after 2 rounds of sealing (one hiss at the floor at the 1R/2R seam, and then some touchups along the seams and a couple of spots where I touched the TPU with the iron) it seems to be holding the air nicely now. Weather permitting, I hope to get it onto a small loch near Glasgow next weekend, and hopefully somewhere far north as soon as the lockdown rules allow after that.
