Hi!
I have a couple questions before fully moving onto 2R and 2L on my Skeena. Things seem to be going well so far!
The outside floor part of 3L has some overlap from where it should have ended up based on the dot above. Right now I’ve just sealed to the line I made, but is it alright to seal that fully down and then trim 2L at the slit between 1 and 2?
Heat sealing question – I have a few spots on 3R and 3L that have longer bubbles and there’s not a uniform translucency, is this going to cause any issues? I was using the edge of the iron and moving slowly back and forth towards the edge as I have a bigger iron. Definitely seems to be sealed as it survived being turned inside out and I’ve been bending it a little. I also melted the tpu a little on the underside of it. I’ve also included a pic of 2L that I did tonight. Doesn’t have the long bubbles but it’s not the translucency isn’t uniform. I’m using a roller on it after removing the iron. Hopefully I’m just being overly cautious and it’s all good! The seat turned out great and seemed to lose no air overnight.
