Finished the lightweight packraft. First trip was across echo lake, then a short hike to ralston lake in desolation wilderness. This one took less time but I made more mistake and I think the thinner fabric is less forgiving with welding mistakes. Took a while to get all the leaks patched up. It did great though and it’s going to come with…[Read more]

As far as I can see, neither of those looks bad enough to risk removal and rewelding. I would just coat them with Aquaseal and not worry about it, because everything else looks great.

Excellent – in my opinion, that’s the best way to do it – a little at a time, so you don’t get sick of it. Cheers 🙂

Thanks for a fast reply Matt, that cheered me up! 🙂 I’m continuing little by little, sneaking out to the garage inbetween all other stuff that is calling on my attention during spingtime.
