No problem!

In the meantime, I’ve changed it to bold text and added another bullet to the list.

Don’t worry – that’s normal. It looks like you’re doing a good job. Sorry for the confusion.

The answer to your question is directly below the text you quoted – it’s even referred to by the asterisk in the quoted section 🙂

Since switching to the 450 GSM floor fabric, I get this question a lot, so I keep moving the information, thinking “Now…[Read more]

Gorgeous photos! Thanks for posting!

Great idea! I find that the weight of the iron’s cord sometimes drags the light aluminum stand off my table – this would certainly solve that problem!

Impressive work – thanks for documenting your project! It’s very cool! I’m sure other people will want to follow your lead.

Fantastic!

Don’t worry – if you do a good job sealing the remaining 1″ of fabric to the floor it will be more than strong enough. I design the overlaps to be much wider than necessary for a strong bond, and even half the width there is more than strong enough, assuming proper heat sealing technique over the entire weld. Sealing the cut-off piece of fabric to…[Read more]

Wow – very cool photos! It looks like a great time!

Great shot, Ken! It’s scary how dry things are though…

Hi Kyle, I usually have a bit of misalignment there too and it’s not a problem (and being on the bottom of the packraft, it’s not noticeable). As long as the combined length of each edge (floor + tube) is the same, you can iron the strip on without any wrinkles in one tube or the other.

Interesting – yeah, the ones I have are different brands than yours, but they do take a long time to heat up using 120V (at least ten minutes), and one of them has a bogus ground like yours. I haven’t noticed the temperature varying too much in either of them though.

Interesting! Thanks for posting this… it is a bit worrying that the safety features aren’t as advertised, but we should never leave these irons plugged in unattended anyway, so maybe it’s not such a concern.

I didn’t quite follow the steps to the conclusion that it’s only suitable for 240V – can you explain your reasoning?

I would suggest placing it across the top of the seat so it can wrap around the corners and not cross any seams. Locate it closer to one edge or the other so you can sit on the seat without it being right in the middle.

Very cool! It’s a great idea for ultralight propulsion.

Amazing achievement! It’s a really impressive feat of endurance, and on a beautiful, historic trail. Thanks for posting!

Thanks for the tip about the swimmers’ paddles, too. I’m curious, do you find it easier to paddle forwards or backwards with them?
