Thank you so much for this video!!!! I've been trying to learn about welding this kind of stuff together so i can prototype a cooling suit, and you've given me almost all the instructions I need. I can't believe you dont have more views. Thanks!!!!

Thank you for the tips this is extremely helpful for making a inflatable suit too

Thanks very much for this video. The instructions are crystal clear and very thorough.

Thanks! I just received my DIY packraft and will be making assembling it!

Thank you Matt, love your great work and instructions!

Thanks

My first raft had a lot of surface defects . So i thinned out polyurethane roof caulking to sprayable consistancy . It bonded wrll enough to claim reliability and forgetability . I sprayed the whole raft on the outside . This gave a distinctive black ops looking packraft with great abrasion resistance . The raft looks like it could be in a rambo movie and its surface finish is uniform and flat in sheen . Been 4 years or so and its lasted and no delamination. I didnt roughen the urethane surface and the polyurethane roofing vaulk stayed bonded through repeated rolling . I have a second raft that is pretty good so i plan on testing out sandblasting the surface to see if the thinned out polyurethane caulking coating will bond even better . Im a tinkerer . I once put on a custom fiberglass hull on an original alpaca . I then attached a 3 hp gas outboard to the front of the raft that had a breakaway transom mount for the outboard . Since it was on the front , when i hit shallow water i just hit the gas which lifted the front end of the raft out of the water a bit and it would cavitate but still remain mobile until i got back to deeper water. I was the only gas powered boat on the big sioux river and in effect the river was mine as it was too shallow for motors .

Have you thought about an underlay that doesn't absorb heat but reflects it . That would extend your heat sink on your iron to stay hot longer.

Good video, do you have info or video on fusible double sided tape for other materials? Thanks

Would it be better maybe, to add a DIY " press handle" or For grip on top of Iron to assist in pressure above the iron while pressing the materials??

I took a look at your website but I can't seem to find where to buy the fabric. I've got an idea in mind but it has nothing to do with building floating boats.

I'm trying to make some taco pads for a rafting trip. Have you had any experience with this? I'm assuming I can use the same techniques for that?

Would hot air welding work with this material as well? Just asking as PVC is welded with hot air

Hello, is there any sales channel for this product that I can buy here in Brazil? Aliexpress for example or another?

Is your material use to make backpack and everyday bags?

Think backpack bag fabric or poly swim pant can weld the same way?

Is it different material? I know it is thinner. Iron melt through easily. But I used cake paper between to prevent it stick together. I think not as strong as your weld. All the backpack has waterproofing inner lining. that seems stick to wolven putter layers. Instead using iron, how about use heat gun and rubber roller. Will that work?

All the irons on ali express are listed as 220v, does that matter?
