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!
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 best places to rest the trekking pole in the packraft – what height the camera should be, how far away, etc. Maybe I’ll make a how-to video about that sometime if people are interested – that’s something I’ve been thinking about for years, but never bothered to do.
Editing 360 video is time consuming, but it does give some unique perspectives, so I think it’s worthwhile sometimes.
Cheers
Wow, that’s fantastic! Thanks for the update, and please let us know if it does or doesn’t hold up over time. Cheers
Thanks for the picture and more info. I haven’t heard of anyone trying the Seam Grip trick, but I was going to suggest something similar. At this point, I don’t think you have much to lose, unfortunately. If the Seam Grip doesn’t work, you could also try scraping a bunch of TPU off of some scrap fabric and melting it into the divot (after cleaning everything thoroughly), and then cut the TPU with a razor blade in line with the old surface to create a new sealing surface. I have no idea if it would actually work though. I’m pretty sure TIZIP would say to just go ahead and replace the zipper.
Is the spot you’re describing where bubbles form if you put soapy water on it? I just want to make sure it’s not leaking somewhere else. One full breath every 30 minutes is about 2 ml per second, so the bubbles should be fairly noticeable.
Would you be able to post a picture? You might be able to carefully shave off a bit of the melted plastic if it’s preventing the seal from closing, but it would help if I could see what it looks like.
Thanks for posting – the black Atlin looks really cool! You’re ready for some special ops now. I’ve been waffling back and forth about offering black as one of the standard options for the reason you mentioned.
I’ve made that dinosaur head (haha!) mistake myself, so don’t sweat it. Your boat still looks great!
Thanks for posting, Clyde – it looks like you did a great job! And thanks for logging your time and showing the final weight – that’s really useful. Cheers!
Great work, Clyde, and thanks for the feedback about your experience! It looks like you have a beautiful playground there for adventures, so enjoy!
Hi Eric, now that I’ve gotten rid of the offcuts I had accumulated over several years, the offcuts and seconds are rarely in stock (like only a few units added to the shop every few months).
There are three reasons, the first being that I include more of the scrap fabric with the packraft kits than I used to, the second being that I have some smaller products now like the drybags so some of the smaller pieces from the ends of rolls are now useful to me, and the third reason is that I’ve switched to a different fabric supplier that does better quality control so only a small percentage of the fabric isn’t cosmetically good enough to use in the kits.
I will update the product description to make this clear to everyone.
Wow, Eric – having done this myself, I know how much work you put into it! Great result – thanks for sharing!
It’s a good question, and one that I can’t answer, but only spam bots are currently banned, so certainty isn’t necessary. If you are a spammer, you will be banned regardless of whether you are human or bot (if there is even a real distinction between the two).
Outstanding! I’m so glad the rod holders worked out. Great work, and thanks for sharing! It looks like you’ve already been to some stunning places. Cheers
