hello,
i would try to work with extremtextil fabric.
i will test two mini irons. one with 20w and the other is matts standard iron.
with which temperature you weld the extremtextil fabric?

i ask myself if it’s a good idea to use double coated 210d fabric from extremtextil with stripes over the seals.

regards mike

how much power you need for welding the tpu?
are 20W enough?
in germany i can get an iron which will make 240 till 280 grad celsius.
