In my experience of making 4 of these V3 rafts is only make trim at the bow and stern. Once all other tube sections are completed and connected up. Just my thoughts. Good luck
Thanks Matt, I was thinking that sewing the panels together along the seam and then welding them so that the sewing is holding it all in place to ensure a good weld? Join all the panels and seal them before then attaching to the floor the inner floor seems would be simple enough a nd i can’t see that the to seams would be much different from what we currently do but it may be neater finish, Just ideas at present as I seam to have two DIYpackrafts that work but have lots of seams that could be looking a whole lot better. Obviously my ineptitude but I don’t like being crap at things!!
Thanks Matt. Thats exactly what I was thinking. If you were able to just spread the pieces out a little and draw around them I could certainly play with that. Ill see how robust the two I currently have are before deciding if sewing has any benefit. Thanks
Hi Matt, Im part way through my second V3 and going better. I may be looking at getting a third – family paddling together etc. My question is can you supply the kit with a 5mm seam allowance to sew together before sealing? Just a few ideas Im mulling over? Thanks Matt. Ill post pics once I’ve completed number 2.
Thi sis my V 3 build.
finally found all the leaks and realised my mistakes in building so after Ive tested this in water and had apply I intend to add inflated floor with sort of keel and a spray skirt of some kind. THEN I get to do it all again on a v3 in blue for my partner…Hi Guys,
Im new to this and trying my hardest to understand it all and especially the heating. Ive heat sealed piece 3 to begin with and it lined up well but the heat has also activated the TPU on the other side o the floor! Is this major problem or will it be mainly cosmetic? Will i need to patch it?
Thanks everyone in advance.
