Vacuum Bagging Magic

Here is a video that shows how amazingly tough a board is when vacuum bagged.

Some conclusions drawn from two practice runs with vacuum bagging:

1) Thin vacuum bags work better than thick.

2) Be neat with the masking tape. It becomes your enemy when sliding the bag over the board.

3) I love pre-wetting the cloth on a table. Much neater and less wasteful of resin.

4) A vacuum regulator is much nicer to use than just venting with a needle valve. Safer too, for the board.
