@DIY Packcraft Hello, I have a few questions about this technique, first, does this work for neoprene rubber sheets and second what type of adapted soldering iron tip do you have, is it possible to purchase on the internet?

@DIYPackraft 5 лет назад

I don’t think it’s possible with neoprene. I have information about heat sealing irons on the website. I made my own soldering iron tips from copper and aluminum. Cheers

Do you think it would be necessary to add a spraydeck for some relatively small rapids? What else would I need, like a backrest or thigh straps?

@DIYPackraft 5 лет назад

For small rapids a spray deck and thigh straps are not necessary. I do recommend adding a back rest. Cheers!

Can you tell me if I can heat a packraft zipper with a regular clothes iron? or is a higher temperature required and approximately what temperature? Thank you

@DIYPackraft Год назад

Yes, it’s possible. The temperature is roughly 200 C (~400 F) so the iron must be able to get at least that hot.

@5711112adam Год назад

I wanted to ask if the material on which you are pressing the zipper is TPU or neoprene or other tarpaulin material?

@DIYPackraft Год назад

It’s TPU coated fabric.

Hi there, can I use this zip on any pack raft material? I have a German Omega C2 pack raft from Anfibio and would like to add two zips. The fabric is called 210 DEN Nylon.

@DIYPackraft Год назад

I’m not 100% sure because I haven’t tested that particular packraft fabric, but it sounds like a material that would work.

Cool! I’ll keep that in mind :D
