Hi Matt,
I am currently building a diy Telkwa. So far so good, but I was wondering what type of aqua seal you would recommend? Thanks!

Matt (Admin) · May 4, 2023 at 12:48 pm

The best ones I’ve found are made by Gear Aid: Aquaseal+WP, Seam Grip+WP, and Aquasure all work well as sealants (not as glue).

Correction: that should be Aquaseal+FD. For more on this, read: https://www.diypackraft.com/liquid-seam-sealers/

I have access to a large laser cutter and was wondering if you have digital versions of the plans so I could cut all the pieces for an upcoming build. I would like to order one kit to build with your materials/kit and then experiment with some other fabrics to build a second one using the digital plans and laser cutter.

Thanks for your interest in a DIY Packraft! Sorry, I don’t.

Hello dear.

I felt happy to watch your videos. I want a thin(as thin as possible) airtight fabric. I don’t need the fabric to be strong/hard, i only need thin flexible fabric sheet.

Can you send me the names of the material, so that i can have a look and purchase from you

Thank you

Thanks, I’m glad you like them! Please check the Shop page for details about the fabrics.
