At the following, links I understand that alpackaraft, advice no more than 2.5 psi. Fabric and construction similar to any DIY project. So why not exceeding 1 psi, to 2psi or more if I can carry a small pump and achieve a stiffer and better responding packraft? Is it a matter of the heat welding seams or …[Read more]

Matt (Admin) replied to the topic Heat Iron Exploded! (Anyone has one in Germany?) in the forum DIY Packrafts 3 years, 9 months ago

I quickly threw it onto a plate I have on the floor for putting the hot iron on and immediately after a loud pop sounded with a spark coming from the iron.…[Read more]
