Lyn, I am curious as to how you pre weld your seams before you use a heat gun on the seams! Do you first. Weld them with a mini Iron over a curved surface then go over the whole tube seam again with the gun and roller?
Thanks.

First, congratulations for your so exciting website! Hey, nice idea to ask us the question! These are my needs thus:

I will give it a try myself. Until now I’ve assumed that it would be too difficult to manage three pieces of fabric, an air gun, and a roller all at once. Are you heating between the layers and then setting the air gun aside and picking up the roller to roll the seam?

I’ve been working on a two-person packraft design for a while now, but I’d like to avoid the floppy side-tube syndrome that people complain about in the manufactured two-person packrafts. How much of an issue was this for you, @lynsg? I know you found the length an issue for comfort as well (it not really being long…[Read more]

That’s too bad! Was it the eBay 58W iron you mentioned above? I had a similar problem with one of the soldering irons I tested.
