That looks like it would work if the temperature specifications are accurate. With its small foot it would be slower than a leather iron. If you try it and it does work, please let us know!

I’m thinking about buying a Telkwa in the future once I get one of my 3 WW boats sold. I’m wondering if a cheap iron like this one on Amazon will work. I’m looking for one that can double up for plastic kayak repairs. If anyone thinks this wouldn’t work, I’ll just get one of the already recommended ones, but I was hoping for double…[Read more]

Somewhat related question that I’ll pose here rather than starting a new post. Has anyone used HH 66 as a seam sealer? Do you think it could be an effective seam sealer? Perhaps a sprinkle of baby powder on top to minimize it from gluing to itself when folded? I inherited a V2 that was 75% built. It has a double layer floor to give an idea…[Read more]

Thanks. I also have a 360 camera and a stick for it. I was thinking of putting a fishing rod holder in the spray deck, slightly smaller, right behind the back seat, and adding a strap tie-in for it further up one of the rear tubes. most of the rivers I run have at least 1 stretch of class II-III and I want video of it. I haven’t attached the…[Read more]

Thanks, Clay – I use a 360 degree action camera on the end of my trekking pole. The camera captures video of everything around it, and then I frame the shots when I’m editing at home. The trekking pole disappears from the shot because it’s hidden in the stitch line between the camera’s two lenses.
It takes some experimenting to figure out the…[Read more]

I didn’t know where else to ask this… You have some great video paddling on your trips. How do you secure your camera to the boat? I can thin of several ways, but none of them will get the same high point of view you have….

It worked! puffed it up this morning, and no bubbles on the zipper! It remains to be seen if this is a durable repair, but that will have to wait until the water is soft again… Given the time is available the the glue to cure, this technique could be used in a remote situation if seam-grip and zipper lube are in the repair kit.
