I use a translator, so please excuse any mistakes. I want to share my soldering iron modification. I combined two soldering irons. I took the base from a mechanical one and the handle from an electronic one. I drilled an additional hole in the base for the temperature sensor and also made a hole in the handle (in the plastic) for the wires.…[Read more]

Hello, everyone! I am not a bot. How do I post on the forum? I would like to share my experience in making accessories. I have some interesting ideas.

Thanks 👍

I’m 6’2” and have an Atlin and the lightweight.  I fit easily in both.  I have the largest atlin and with a bike mounted up front I have plenty of room for my legs with room to spare, and enough clearance from the bike that I can paddles hard without feeling jammed up.

When the bike isn’t up front, I can have a full backpack up there and it ma…[Read more]

These were TPU coated on one side only, with the coated surfaces facing inwards. It did work OK except for a few wrinkles and as noted above, the laminated fabric is stiff.
I wasn’t overly happy with t…[Read more]

Yes and no… You can layer fabrics together to make something stronger, but you can’t iron directly onto TPU without making a mess, so at least one of the fabrics has to be coated on only one side.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>The roll top closure doesn’t intrigue me as much as the 3 piece construction does.  According to anfibio that results in lower weight for the same fabric strength.  Not sure how true that is, but their RTC is pnly 2.6 lbs for 210D fabric.  Planning to make my first packraft in the coming months.</p>

Awesome, thank you both.  🙂
