Hi Guys,
I discovered a different way to apply carbon without using a vacuum. A friend needed a Hockey stick repaired but you could just as easily apply the same technique to fins or a ding repair.
I used a stretchy band used for strength training or physio recovery exercises to apply pressure by stretching it and wrapping like a bandage. Under the silicone band is bubble wrap and peel ply. The pictures show a test layer that was pretty rough just to test the concept. The following 2 layers applied in 1 layup came out smoother as I was more careful with the peel ply and bubble wrap so there were less wrinkles.
