Yes, a green – was missing it in your colors.
Well, something like: 3425, 341, 3435, 343 – would be nice – and if “lighter” 362 – would be nice! -

The question of # 2345 was an unnecessary question, so I would like to delete it, what should I do?

This is the iron product page of the Japanese clover website, but in Japan it does not seem to treat “clover mini iron Ⅱ – the adaptor”.
However, there seems to be a product for heat sealing in the middle of this page,
Also in this product, “DIY PACKRAFT KIT” heat seal is OK? -

Hi Hiroshi, thanks for your order! It should take approximately ten business days to arrive. You will be the first in Japan 🙂
My Clover Mini Iron II is made for North America’s 120 V, 60 Hz power supply. Clover has a Japanese website, where you may be able to find more information, or at least contact information for someone who can answer your…[Read more]

I think that my question was not clearly understood by topic and reply, so I will ask again.
1. Japan’s voltage is 100 V, can I use “clover mini iron Ⅱ – the adaptor”?
2. How long will it take delivery to Japan? -

I’ve just uploaded some pictures of the new spray deck to the blog – check the rest out here. 🙂

Agree.. 340, 3435, 343. I also got the MRS X2 in green. very nice. Definetely going for something dark green and stealthy. Was actually thinking about which colour to build the next one in.. Having to finish the black one though. Might go for camoflage. but the green would probably be my first choice if offered.

Here are a few pictures of the new spray deck! It’s made from 210D heat sealable fabric and a lightweight, collapsible aluminum tent pole.

Hi Matt! Great – now I’m looking forward to your experiences in WW – just to know if it resists some WW or if it starts leaking after 2-4 runs….

Hi Joy,
Yes, I am looking forward to testing the spray deck as soon as the rivers thaw here!

hey Matt nice work, did U made this on the base of the youtube raft? Helps that you have installed a zipper? I think about to intall one on my first black raft. Was it easier with the reachable innertubesection, or its not nesesary? I would prefer a removable cruiserspraydeck, not interest to go whitewater with selfmade. Looking forward of video instruction for the spraydeck installation. Lighter fabric reached me, next project can start. 🙂
greetings from berlin

Hi Marco,
Yes, I added the spray deck and inflatable floor to the packraft I made in the Youtube videos after it was finished. The airtight zipper is not necessary for retrofitting either the inflatable floor or the spray deck – I installed both entirely from the outside – but it is still a very nice feature for storing gear inside the tubes and for accessing the inside of the tubes to make repairs.
I will add a removable cruiser spray deck to my list of things to do!
I’m glad your new fabric arrived, and I look forward to seeing your ultralight packraft 🙂
Cheers,
Matt

Hey, Matt,
Should I purchase the kit and try to make the boat by myself…?
Or I want to visit Canada and learn some skills or know-how from you…
Which is better…?-
Hi Maradona! I demonstrate all of my skills and know-how in my videos and web pages, but Canada has some beautiful places for packrafting (follow @benbrochu on instagram for pictures!), so I think a trip to Canada would be better spent in the wilderness than in my basement 😉

Yes, a removable cruiser spray deck would be awesome!

Hello,
I vote the 350 or 363. Hope that my laptop display will not fool me 🙂
Generally all three columns from right looks best for me. Left side is not very natural on my screen.
Btw with my blue packraft I found an interesting thing. In digital photos it looks much brighter compared to real world eye view.

This will mark Japan for the first time in the map.

Japan is V100 but can it be used? -

Hi @hiroshi, the floor and seams can be either black or the same colour as the tubes – it is your choice. The product page tells you how to indicate which style you prefer.
I recommend a Large packraft for your stature.
The kit does not include a printed manual, as all of the instructions are on the How-To web pages, including pictures and…[Read more]

It is a question about color.
For example, if you choose blue, is the floor and tape blue?
Or is the floor or tape black? -
hiroshi replied to the topic some questions in the forum DIY Packrafts 8 years, 3 months ago

By the way, I am 180cm tall, 100 kg in weight, does the size have good S, M, which of L?Then will DIY PACKRAFT KIT have the manual?
