Hey I was looking at vacuum bagged boards and was wondering what I need to do it and how do I do it ?
could someone give me a complete list and instructions of how to vacuum bag?
Youtube has lots of videos with real people showing how they do it.
Try this search on Google:
Swaylocks:Timberflex
Lots of threads here showing how people do it.
Bert’s vacuum forming and sandwich construction thread is a good start too.
get the video
vacuum bagging - by tom sullivan
learned most of my stuff from that followed up by bert’s and other threads here.
Silly and Mike Sabbs posted allot of great stuff back in the day as well
the sullivan video was the only one of its kind
everyone else got so secretive to protect their IP when in a sense there is no protection these days from anyone with the tools.
First thing … buy vac machine. 2nd. buy tube plastic. 3rd. lay up board and slide her into tube plastic bag. Tie one end in a knot. Other end … stick vac hose down the interior making sure breath pipe has vent pathway to suck the shize out of your chosen article. Last thing purchase cable ties to seal bag around air extraction intake hose connected to the sucking vac home base. Good luck!
