I’m using a 210D nylon with TPU coating similar (if not the same) as the original fabric. I got the kit from someone here in the UK that didn’t get around to building but wanted to add the orange seam strips for a different look.

Wondering if I could use two with them butted up to each other and a backing piece of fabric on the inside over the Seamgrip to help support? Or would this be a weak point likely to fai…[Read more]

It seemed to go ok but the tube material isn’t uniformly darker across the entire seam (some parts are darker with a shine – others are less so). Not sure if this is ok or if I need to do more?

Also seem to have overheated the bottom TPU slightly in one area. I’m thinking it’s fine on both counts but w…[Read more]
