Don’t worry – this is not a huge problem! If you can’t un-seal one side by reheating it and peeling it up, and then redo it (which you probably can’t), then I would cut a slit in the floor fabric perpendicular to the edge, long enough so that the fold disappears. Then simply cover the slit with patches – one on the bottom of the packraft’s floor…[Read more]

Hello

My kit should arrive tomorrow. Can’t wait. I use my rafts for fly fishing the PNW. Thanks Matt for giving us the option to build one. Love it.

Minutes… I can’t remember where I read that, but the idea is to use it like contact cement.

Excellent – I’m glad it worked out for you, and thanks for posting!

I’ll be curious to see the reviews, as I’ve never seen a roll-closure that doesn’t leak some air and it would be annoying to have to frequently add air (as a lot of people who bought Windcatcher camping mattresses have found). Given their false statements about it being the lightest packraft ever, I’m skeptical.

Thank you for the clarification.
Indeed, I would like a packraft that can accept a lot of material and I put this picture found on the Internet to illustrate my needs.

The 2-person model may be faster, but only when powered by two people. It is much wider than the single-person packrafts, with larger diameter tubes, so it is a very different boat.

The Telkwa’s length cannot be extended. The 2-person packraft could be shortened by removing 20-30 cm of material from the middle of the side tubes and floor, but…[Read more]

Thank you very much for your answer Matt.
And congratulations for all your work!
I think buy probably 2 kits on your site but before I need to understand the basics of assembly and define the best model for my use.
I understand that the model 2 places would be heavier and more bulky to carry, for cons I could see on other forums a longer model…[Read more]

sorry for the double message.
