@admin Hi, fresh member here. I’m gathering knowledge and resources to make an ul flatwater packraft for myself. Hence a question: should I prefer a 70d nylon 66 ripstop with 0.03mm tpu or a 30d nylon 66 ripstop with 0.06mm tpu. Both come in at about 115gsm. Anybody know any source in the EU for suitable fabric around that weight or up to 150gsm?
There are more parameters to consider than just denier and TPU thickness, so I would get samples of any fabrics you are considering and then do some heat sealing and destructive testing to see which one performs best relative to your needs… it’s not a simple question, so I can’t give you a definitive answer.
