Thanks Lyn, that’s a good suggestion! I have an exped downmat and that sort of valve would work great. I think I’ll probably just end up getting a couple more things from Matt but I may keep an eye out at the used gear spots for a similar mattress for late projects.

Let’s see if these pics work from my phone. Here is Evan working on Step 1 of his ultralight:

And me hard at work on my blue raft. These are gonna need names I guess!

Could I make a suggestion here. I plan to use Exped flat valves on my two boats, partly because we have Exped sleeping mats now and it makes sense to use the same schnozzle pump for both. These are excellent little valves anyway, quite unobtrusive and well proven to be reliable. The only negative is the cost – you have to cannibalise an Exped item…[Read more]

Sorry, there’s not much I can do about the parcel postage rates, and I don’t think it could be sent in a letter. I guess another option would be to buy a beach ball and cut the valve out… I’m not sure how good of a valve you could get that way, but it might be worth a try. I couldn’t find similar valves for sale anywhere, which is why I decided…[Read more]

Thanks Matt! I am going to start putting my kit together tomorrow and I’m planning on doing an inflatable floor with it! Now I wish I had ordered an extra small valve though. Do you have any suggestions on US suppliers (or even what type of item to search for)? Or can you figure out a shipping break if I only order a small valve ($7 shipping…[Read more]

362 is the winner for me..

Welcome to the forum, @maynard!

I recommend both, each for different applications.

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!

Sorry Matt, was to buzzy with a lot of work…
And YES you have a nice deck now!

please let me know when the Kit2 + deck is in the shop!
now the Packraft is so complete! nice job Matt….

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?
