This means we have some extra room between our feet and the inside front of the raft.  I expect we sometimes may not have gear with us and am thinking about using some of the extra material to m…[Read more]

I had kind of wondered about the +SIL version because it didn’t have much smell and I had seen references to SeamGrip being strong smelling. Thought maybe I just wasn’t that sensitive to it.

I have identified 3 small areas that have small leaks so wanted to make sure before I used the original stuff. Found some of what I believe is the original type you were using and have it on order. Does this look right?

I thought I was safe going with Gear Aide Seam Grip and didn’t realize there were 5 or 6 different versions.

I have the whole raft completed except tiedowns! I’ll have to do what I can through the T-zip.

 

Looking around now I’m finding a several different versions of SeamGrip.

SeamGrip+SIL (silicone coated fabrics)

SeamGrip +WP  (nylon, canvas, vinyl, rubber)

SeamGrip, white & blue tube (coated and uncoated polyurethane)

AuquaSeal+FD…[Read more]

I just noticed when I checked the link where I bought it that it also has “+SIL” Not sure if that matters?

 

A few of the seams I powdered after they were cured 24+hrs. Others I just left alone. All had cured a week plus before I had this issue.

Ran into an issue with the seam grip near the end of the assembly process after partially turning the raft inside out to seal the forward seam, it seems like the seam grip didn’t adhere in some areas and also it fractured along the…[Read more]

They work great for getting across the rocks/mud/sand in and out of my hard shell kayak.

What is everyone using?  What kind of budget should I be looking at?  What is a reasonable weight?

Based in the US if that matters.

 

thanks!
